                    [Summary] => Export earnings from companies located inside the Subic Bay Freeport declined by 48 percent to $685.42 million in 2003 from $1.32 billion in 2002, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) reported yesterday.


The decline was attributed mainly to the drop in shipments of Taiwanese computer giant Wistron Infocomm Phlippines Corp. (formerly Acer Corp.) due to poor global demand.


Wistron’s exports plunged by about 60 percent to only $429.7 million in 2003 from $1.06 billion in 2002.
