Tóm tắt

 While the Philippines has been one of the most dynamic economies in the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) region, with gross national income (GNI) per capita more than tripling, and poverty declining sharply from 33.5 percent in 2000 to 18.1 percent in 2021, it still faces a complex range of structural challenges. These include limited market competition in several key sectors
  underinvestment in infrastructure
  regulatory restrictions that impede foreign direct investment
  and low growth in the agriculture sector, heightened by vulnerability to natural disasters and institutional weaknesses. Three World Bank Group engagements - a jobs report, a development policy loan (DPL), and a rural development project - highlight the importance of transformational economic reforms to promote employment in middle-income countries.
