The next president should institute more economic reforms to ensure inclusive growth while building on the gains of the Aquino administration, according to top economists.

“To ensure that growth can be inclusive, the first step is to create new opportunities through which everyone can participate and contribute,” Prof. Epictetus Patalinghug, a convenor of Albert Del Rosario (ADR) Institute and professor emeritus of economics and finance at the Cesar E.A. Virata School of Business of the University of the Philippines said during a roundtable discussion sponsored by ADR Institute.
