(MENAFNEditorial)
The Philippines freight picture should prove to be a relatively fruitful one in 2015 across all of the modes. Spurring this is news that the Philippines' exports increased 12.4% to USD5.5bn in July compared with USD4.9bn in the same period a year before according to the Philippine Statistics Authority on September 10 2014. The National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) has attributed the double-digit rise in export shipments to an increase in overseas sales of agro-based and manufactured goods.
Shipments of agro-based goods climbed 20.7% to USD447.2mn in July 2014 while exports of manufactured goods increased 15.9% to USD4.4bn. In addition the country's exports rose 8.5% to USD35.1bn in the first seven months of 2014 compared with USD32.4bn in January-July 2013. However the looming power shortage in the country has threatened to slow growth according to Neda director-general and Socio-economic Planning Secretary Arsenio M Balisacan. 'The expected tightness in the supply of power in the coming months could disrupt industrial production hurting exports' said Balisacan (Philippine Daily Inquirer).
