| description |
With the global economy on the way to
recovery from the financial crisis, the Asian economies
appear poised to bounce back strongly. For most people in
the Philippines, however, a return to the status quo ante
will offer little consolation. That is because when economic
growth accelerated during 2002-08, poverty did not decline
as hoped. With a third of the population currently below
the poverty line, and high and rising inequality in incomes,
the country's main development challenge is to achieve
growth that is much more widely shared to make growth work
for the poor. Making growth work for the poor in the
Philippines is a significant development challenge, but one
that is worth pursuing vigorously. The new administration
not only has the mandate but the historic opportunity to
deliver on this goal as well as other election platforms on
which it was voted to power. These include 'the
organized and widely-shared rapid expansion of the economy
through a government dedicated to honing and mobilizing the
people's skills and energies as well as the responsible
harnessing of natural resources; moving to well-considered
programs that build capacity and create opportunity among
the poor and the marginalized in the country; policies that
create conditions conducive to the growth and
competitiveness of private businesses, big, medium and
small; and making education the central strategy for
investing in people, reducing poverty and building national
competitiveness.' In addition, the new administration
is committed to fight corruption. These goals are fully
echoed in the strategy and policy actions identified above
and elaborated in the accompanying discussion notes. |
