De La Salle University (DLSU) has revised downward its economic growth forecasts for the Philippines for 2026 through 2028, according to a report by Philstar Biz. The university cited persistent global and domestic headwinds as reasons for the adjustment, though the specific revised figures were not detailed in the announcement.
The downward revision reflects ongoing challenges such as inflation pressures, geopolitical uncertainties, and slower-than-expected recovery in key sectors. DLSU's projection aligns with a cautious outlook shared by other economic analysts monitoring the Philippine economy.
The university's updated forecast comes amid a period of mixed economic signals, where policymakers continue to balance growth objectives with measures to address fiscal and external risks. Stakeholders are advised to monitor subsequent releases for the precise revised targets.
