Updated PDP focuses on job generation

The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said that the mid-term update of the 2011-2016 Philippine Development Plan (PDP) would dwell on inclusivity by focusing on job-generating sectors, increasing investments, and sustaining the macroeconomic record of the country.

Deputy Director General Emmanuel Esguerra said in a hearing at the House of Representatives that the midterm update will be more on “boosting competitiveness on labor” “sustaining macroeconomic growth” as well as investments, particularly raising capital for further infrastructure development.
