BEYOND UMIC: Locking in on sustainable, equitable growth
The World Bank’s declaration of the Philippines reaching upper middle-income status brings both applause and anxiety. While higher national income metrics mean macroeconomic progress, true development requires transforming economic statistics into tangible improvements for every Filipino household.
At The Manila Times BEYOND UMIC: Locking in on sustainable, equitable growth forum, discussions will focus on moving from celebration to action -- achieving sustainable, equitable growth means navigating critical policy transitions and implementations that cannot leave vulnerable sectors behind.
Ensuring that growth is truly inclusive demands sustained investment in healthcare, quality education, agricultural supply chains, and robust social safety nets, translating macroeconomic gains into lasting opportunities, reduced inequality, and direct benefits across all regions.
