31 January 2013 – The Makati Business Club (MBC) congratulates the Aquino administration for the economy’s very positive growth performance. The reported full-year GDP growth of 6.6 percent in 2012 exceeded not only the government’s 5 to 6 percent target but also the 6.3 percent average of private forecasts compiled by the MBC Research team. It is our hope that the country will be able to sustain this high growth in the coming years. In this effort, we in the business sector reiterate our commitment to do our part and to work with the government and other sectors of society to ensure that this growth will not only be sustainable but also inclusive.
