Economic team vows inclusive, sustainable development

Development efforts under the Marcos administration will be sensitive to the wants and needs of the Filipino people, economic managers declared earlier this month.

'As we move forward with the enduring effects of the pandemic and geo-political conflicts, the government — as always — shall prioritize the welfare of the Filipino people,' they said in a July 8 joint statement following a Development Budget Coordinating Committee (DBCC) review of the government's macroeconomic assumptions, fiscal program and growth targets.
