Are we losing our edge? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was unanimous. The Asian Development Bank, S&P Global Ratings and the International Monetary Fund all issued separate, but similar growth downgrade forecasts for the Philippines last week. The ADB released its September 2026 Asian Development Outlook (ADO) wherein it projected an improved regional growth of five percent for Developing Asia and the Pacific, attributing the slight improvement in the growth projection for the region on resilient domestic demand and strong technology exports.
