                    [Summary] => The country’s export earnings from garments and textiles continued to weaken, dropping by another 3.19 percent to $1.807 billion in the first eight months of the year from $1.867 billion in the same period last year, the Garment and Textile  Export Board (GTEB) reported yesterday.


The GTEB, however, said the latest decline was slower compared with the previous drops, raising hopes  that the industry will  manage  a full year average growth of zero percent.


A zero growth this year would be better than the  2.7  decline  recorded by the industry  last year.

Garments and textiles are the country’s  second largest export earners next to semiconductors and electronics.


Trade and Industry Secretary Manuel Roxas II, however, is unperturbed by the drop in earnings from garments.

GTEB statistics showed that from a ranking of seventh in 1995 in terms of both quantity and value, local garment exports  have gradually deteriorated to number 11 last year in terms of quantity and number nine in terms of value.

Garment exports for the first four months of the year amounted to only $982.9 million, a mere two-percent hike from the previous year’s figure. In the same period last year, garment exports grew by  11.6 percent.


The GTEB attributed the slower  growth rate to a drop in orders from both the American and European retailers  due mainly  to global economic slowdown.
