Economic managers bare 8-point agenda

THE country's economic managers have bared the eight-point socioeconomic agenda of the Marcos administration which intends to address risks and guide the economy back to its high-growth track.

"The plan seeks to address the immediate challenges confronting the Filipino people — rising prices, scarring from the Covid-19 pandemic — and ensuring sound macroeconomic fundamentals," Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno noted during the post-State of the Nation Address economic briefing, which the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas hosted on Tuesday at the Philippine International Convention Center.
