REUTERS/Eloisa Lopez MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippine economy contracted 16.9% in the second quarter from a year earlier, worse than the preliminary estimate of a 16.5% decline, the statistics agency said on Monday. The government will announce the economy's third-quarter performance on Tuesday, with economists expecting an annual contraction of 9.8% based on the median forecast in a Reuters' poll. The economy fell into recession for the first time in 29 years with a record contraction in the second quarter, as coronavirus lockdown measures hit consumption and business activity. -- © Copyright Reuters 2020-11-09 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
