                    [Summary] => Weaker output from the farm sector due to drought and slower demand for electronics exports are expected to dampen Philippine economic growth this year, a quarterly Reuters poll showed.


High oil prices and taxes may also cut into consumer demand, but remittances from overseas Filipino workers may cushion the impact of an increase in inflation on spending, economists said.


The median forecast of 10 economists was for the economy to grow 4.8 percent in 2005 and 4.5 percent in 2006, slowing from 6.1 percent in 2004 — a 15-year high.
