3 Summary MACROECONOMY Gross domestic product (GDP) for the second quarter improved relative to the previous quarter, expanding by 9.5% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) and 5.6% year-onyear (YoY). The service sector continues to drive the economy, despite decelerating to 6.2% YoY. Growth of prices hit a new low for the year, as inflation was measured at 0.4% as of the end of September due to stable food, oil, and power rates. The last two quarters should see the economy improve further as household consumption and government spending are expected to increase in the last half of the year. EQUITY The PSEi closed below the 7,000-mark at the end of September, as investors have become more cautious. Many eyes are fixed on China s recent economic slowdown and the US Federal Reserve s possible decision to raise interest rates. Approved foreign investments (FI) in the second quarter improved to PHP 36.2 billion, a slight improvement from the first quarter. However, total approved FI for the first half of the year saw a drop by 21% YoY. DEBT Lending activity continues to grow at a healthy rate, posting year-to-date (YTD) growth of 6.4% as of August month-end. Real estate activities possesses the largest share at the amount of PHP million, or 19.4% of total outstanding loans. Interest rates remain steady at 4%, as Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) feel existing rates and economic conditions are sufficient to stimulate growth. BUSINESS Business confidence for the current quarter fell in the third quarter of 2015 to 41.4, a substantial drop from the 49.2 recorded for the previous quarter. Overall, businesses are more upbeat for next quarter, due to increased economic activity and spending. The producer price index (PPI) and general wholesale price index (GWPI) both decreased by 0.1% and 4.1%, respectively. CONSUMER Consumer confidence improved in the third quarter of 2015, with several households anticipating more available jobs, higher income, and increased production of goods due to the upcoming holiday season. The same optimism is expected to carry over the next 12 months, as well. Cushman & Wakefield P a g e 2
