PH needs to strengthen investment sector

The slowdown in the Chinese economy as it 'rebalances' itself may not have a heavy impact on the Philippines' economy but a focus on the investment side is needed to strengthen domestic growth, an International Monetary Fund official said.

Speaking at The Manila Times 3^rd  Business Forum, IMF Resident Representative Dr. Shanaka Jayanath Peiris said the Philippines would not be greatly affected by the slowdown in China as its exposure to demand from the country was lower compared to other nations.
