PH economy to grow 6-7% in 2022 — Lopez

The Philippine economy can potentially increase by six to seven per cent in 2022 as long as the proper management of COVID-19 and reopening of businesses continue, said Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Ramon Lopez.

In a forum, Lopez also forecasted that, with the easing of restrictions last month, the GDP for the fourth quarter may grow by seven per cent or higher. To achieve this, the trade chief stated that “we need not to have speed bumps ahead of us.”
