Socioeconomic Report 2010-2012

The Philippines, through its new administration in June 2010, committed itself to achieving inclusive growth through transparent and responsive governance, massive infrastructure investment, increased competitiveness, improved access to financing, improved social services, a stable macroeconomic environment, ecological integrity, quality education, appropriate science and technology appropriations, and advanced peace process alongside improved national security.

From the second half of 2010 to the end of 2011, the Philippines sought to meet these targets despite unexpected external shocks that threatened its economic growth. The Socioeconomic Report 2010-2012 provides details of the country’s socioeconomic performance during the first two years of the Aquino Administration.
