Two, household consumption, which comprises about 73% of total GDP, has expanded only by P206 billion from 2018 to 2021. Consumer confidence remains weak and muted. Four, capital formation or investments, which comprise about 25% of GDP, has declined big time, by nearly P1 trillion. Many businesses went bankrupt, many planned investments did not push through.Six, in the GDP by supply or industry contributions, agriculture and fishery, which comprise about 10% of GDP, has flat output from 2018-2021.

Eight, the services sector that comprises the remaining 60% of GDP has increased by only P281 billion; banking, insurance and e-money services have increased by P351 billion.
