The Philippines is facing significant economic challenges due to the impact of typhoons on its agricultural sector, which accounts for 10% of its GDP. Secretaries from the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) predict that the damage will be similar to that caused by El Nino, with high-value crops being particularly vulnerable. The country targets an annual growth of 6% to 7% by 2028, but typhoons have hindered this goal. In 2022, the government set a target of 5.6% growth, which was surpassed with 7.6% growth in 2022 and 5.6% in 2023, but typhoons have caused significant damage to the economy and agricultural sector, with the potential to affect over 10 million people, as reported by the World Food Programme. Despite these challenges, the government identifies the job market, remittances, and slow inflation as potential support for achieving the targeted growth in the fourth quarter.
