(MENAFNEditorial)
The Philippines' decision to seek international arbitration in its maritime dispute with China will raise tensions between the two countries and could accelerate US efforts to 'pivot' towards Asia. The dispute also increases the risk of Beijing imposing economic sanctions on the Philippines which would pose downside risks for our 6.3% real GDP growth forecast in 2014. We continue to hold a positive outlook for the economy and maintain our forecast for real GDP growth of 6.3% in 2014 as investment is likely to pick up and the export sector should see a modest rebound this year.
The freight mix in the Philippines is anticipated to register relatively healthy growth over the short and medium term. Air freight's annual growth is set to rise in 2014 from last year (5.58% year-on-year (y-o-y) compared to 2013's 4.34%). Meanwhile the Port of Cebu is pencilled in to see higher y-o-y tonnage growth in 2014 than its regional peer the Port of MICT (4.50% compared with 4.00% respectively).
