Arangkada Philippines and the Ten-point Socio-Economic Agenda
In the seven years since the publication of Arangkada Philippines 2010: a Business Perspective, the Philippine economy has made impressive progress. From 2011 to 2016 GDP growth averaged 6.3% (see Figure 3), and the Philippines has become known as the fastest growing of the larger ASEAN-6 economies, shedding its economic basket case, boom-and-bust, and “Sick Man of Asia” reputation from
decades past.
