Despite pressures from record high oil prices, the Philippine government has stuck to its 5.3-percent growth target in gross domestic product (GDP) this year, but admitted it would likely revise next year’s target down to 6.3 percent.


In the Southeast Asian region, the ADB is forecasting an average growth of five percent this year and 5.4 percent in 2006.

Based on a newly-released study by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on the effect of SARS on Asian economies, Hong Kong and Singapore would be hardest hit with GDP growth reduced by an average of 1.45 percentage points – to 0.8 percent and 1.9 percent, respectively.

                    [Summary] => Local governments in Asia must learn to tap alternative sources of financing such as bond markets in order to provide public services and reduce poverty, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) said Wednesday. 


However local authorities have been reluctant to use such sources due to "major impediments" to the emergence of bond markets for such units, officials said at a three-day ADB conference on bond financing that opened in Manila this week.
