President Bongbong Marcos’ economic team is projecting possibly slower economic growth for 2023 after this year’s strong recovery trend.
Members of the Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC) announced Monday (December 5) that growth will likely ease up next year to settle within 6-7%, coming from 2022’s 6.5-7.5% forecast range.
Year-to-date growth is at 7.7% as of September.
The DBCC conceded to a “slight” deceleration in growth next year amid the risk of a slowdown in major advanced economies, particularly with fears of a US recession.
Growth is seen picking up anew between 6.5-8% annually between 2024 to 2028.
