Nomura projects 1.6-3% GDP Growth only for the Philippines because of the Luzon Quarantine

Another Financial Services company, this time the Japanese company Nomura has released their prediction of the Philippines’ Gross Domestic Product (GDP) this year which they project to be only 1.6-3%, very far from the Government’s target of 6.5-7.5%.

This low growth is because of the Quarantine of Luzon to contain the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak. Nomura warns that if the Quarantine is extended by another month, the GDP could in fact contract by -1.9%.

The expected low GDP growth figures of the Country is likely to have some negative consequences for the modernization of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
