The Philippines economy expanded 6.4 percent year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2019, accelerating from a downwardly revised 6.0 percent growth in the previous quarter but below market consensus of 6.5 percent. This was the strongest growth rate since the first quarter 2018, as both government spending growth and fixed investment accelerated, and net external contributed positively to GDP while private consumption continued to rise. Considering full 2019, the economy grew by 5.9 percent year-on-year, compared to 6.2 percent expansion in 2018, the slowest pace in 8 years, amid delays in budget approval and weakness in farm output, and missing the low-end of the government's target of 6 to 6.5 percent expansion. For 2020, the government is targeting economic growth of 6.5%-7.5%.
