Binay bares plan to spur inclusive growth

VICE President Jejomar Binay on Friday laid out an economic agenda that he said government must pursue to ensure that more people, particularly the poor, benefit from the country’s economic gains.

“We must make sure that our economic gains are felt by the greater mass of our people and we must energize the manufacturing, agricultural and other sectors of our economy. Inclusion and diversification must be the key elements of our strategy,” Binay said at the Banyan Tree Leadership Forum at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington D.C.
