Sales and Economic Outlook

Economic outlook for the Philippines remains to be positive as GDP is expected to accelerate by 6.8% in 2017. The optimistic sentiment towards the local market is anchored on sound macroeconomic fundamentals, continued high consumer demand and the ongoing reforms in the country’s tax system. Concern, however, is raised as the country’s currency continues to slip against the dollar. Nevertheless, companies are still bullish with survey results depicting a positive outlook from businesses. Moreover, the government is very aggressive in its infrastructure programs that further drive economic growth. These bode well for the automotive industry. HARI, for its part, is determined to thrive under these circumstances and win the hearts of the Filipino consumers.
