Despite pressures from record high oil prices, the Philippine government has stuck to its 5.3-percent growth target in gross domestic product (GDP) this year, but admitted it would likely revise next year’s target down to 6.3 percent.

In the Southeast Asian region, the ADB is forecasting an average growth of five percent this year and 5.4 percent in 2006.
