The Philippines is seen avoiding a slowdown in its economic rebound in the third quarter amid relatively lower COVID-19 infections compared to its neighbors suffering from surges and with mass vaccination picking up, Pantheon Macroeconomics said.

For the third quarter, Pantheon Macroeconomics sees GDP growing by 9.2 percent to reverse the 11.4-percent drop a year ago.

“The Philippines’ case-count is proving very sticky, at around 45 percent of the mid-April peak, while the test-positivity rate continues to hover dangerouslyin the low double-digit range,” Chanco noted. In contrast, Chanco pointed out that despite the recent surge in cases in Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam due to the more contagious Delta variant of COVID-19, these three countries had imposed mostly localized quarantine restrictions, although tighter now than before.
