THE government has lowered its economic growth targets given continued global uncertainties and the lingering impact of a massive corruption scandal. This year’s goal is now 5.0 percent to 6.0 percent while that for 2027 is 5.5 percent to 6.5 percent, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said in Malacañang on Monday, down from the 6.0 percent to 7.0 percent set in June last year for 2026 to 2028. The target for 2028 — which will include the last six months of the Marcos administration — was kept at 6.0 percent to 7.0 percent.   https://www.manilatimes.net/2026/01/06/business/top-business/govt-lowers-growth-targets-through-2027/2253022 (ICE SINGAPORE)
