May 4, 2017--STORY HIGHLIGHTS
The Philippine economy remained resilient to global headwinds in 2016.
The rapidly growing domestic economy has yielded substantial gains in employment and poverty reduction.

Investment drove economy-wide growth for the first time since 2013, as the government's expansionary fiscal-policy stance helped capital formation to expand by 20.8 percent year-on-year led by the construction sector. Consumption growth remained strong as accommodative monetary policies kept interest rates low, supporting a double-digit expansion in consumer lending.
