Why it matters
The yearly rate is less noisy than the quarterly change and is the figure most people mean by "economic growth". It shapes the earnings outlook for local companies, tax revenue, and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas's view of how much spare capacity the economy has.
How it is calculated
the Philippine Statistics Authority compares real GDP (after inflation) with the same quarter or year before; full-year figures sum the four quarters.
Growth (yoy) = real GDP ÷ real GDP a year ago − 1What changes mean
- Growth above the country's trend (about 1–2% for advanced economies, more for emerging ones) tends to raise inflation pressure.
- Annual growth turns only slowly; the quarterly figure shows turning points earlier.
Higher than expected: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the Philippine peso and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Lower than expected: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the Philippine peso tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
