‘PH economic growth likely slowed in 2015’

Philippine economic growth likely slowed to below 6 percent in 2015, analysts polled by The Manila Times said, even as the October-December pace could have gone either way given a slew of positive and negative factors.

Gross domestic product (GDP) growth could have picked up to as much as 6.4 percent in the last three months of 2015 or eased to 5.7 percent, they said, bringing the full-year expansion to a range of 5.7 percent to 5.9 percent.
