Duterte economic agenda ‘translates to more growth’ – BSP

The central bank believes that the eight-point economic agenda of presumptive President Rodrigo Duterte promises continuity of the Philippines’ resilient growth.

“I think the eight point-program translates to more growth, because it says that macroeconomic policies will be continued and will impact on spending,” Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Deputy Governor Diwa Guinigundo told reporters on Monday.
