The Philippines emergence as a growth leader has been building gradually since the 1990s, following a long period of low growth and political upheaval. As of the 2010s improved governance under the administration of President Benigno Aquino III has helped to accelerate foreign direct investment (FDI) in business process outsourcing while reviving FDI into the manufacturing sector. This, and a demographic bulge in the young adult bracket, helped bring the average pace of growth in the first half of the 2010s to 6.3%, beating all the country’s main South-east Asian peers.

In this volume, a leading group of scholars pose the question, has the Philippine economy rejoined the dynamic East Asian mainstream and, if so, what set of policies and priorities are required to maintain the strong economic momentum of recent years? Successive chapters address issues related to growth and poverty, infrastructure and urbanization, education, health, the environment, energy, development finance, and governance and institutions. The book has been written with a broad audience in mind. First and foremost it is for readers in, and interested in, this fascinating and important country with a population that now exceeds a hundred million. Second, it will appeal to those in the broader development community with an interest in the analytical and policy challenges that democratic, middle-income countries face as they struggle to lift their citizens out of poverty and to achieve broad-based and environmentally sustainable growth.
