“There is so much space, room to grow, in the sense that we are starting very many new things now,” Mr Marcos said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.Mr Marcos said the domestic economy “will be able to manage at least 7 per cent growth for last year” and expand by a similar pace in 2023.
Mr Marcos has faced numerous economic challenges in his first six months as the country’s leader, including tight public finances and rising borrowing costs. Soaring prices of essential goods from sugar toand Mr Marcos, who is also helming the agriculture department, has said farm production will be ramped up to rein imports and prices.
Like most in South-east Asia, Mr Marcos has sought to balance interests between the United States and China. He has tried to cooperate with China in agriculture and infrastructure and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this month, agreeing to pursue South China Sea energy exploration talks.
Tensions between Manila and Beijing in the disputed sea have risen recently, with the South-east Asian nation expressing “great concern” over Chinese vessels massing off its western coast.
