STRATEGIC CONTEXT A. Country Context 1. The Republic of the Philippines is the second most populous country in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) with a gross domestic product (GDP) of US$305 billion and a population of 103.3 million. Its growth over the past decade has allowed it to emerge as a confident middle-income country and one of the most vibrant economies in the Asia and Pacific region. The economy, on average, has grown 6.2 percent per year in 2010-2015, in line with the major economies in the region. Real GDP grew by 5.9 and 6.8 percent in 2015 and 2016, respectively, driven by household consumption, private construction, and exports of goods and services. The robust economic growth has been characterized by strong macroeconomic fundamentals, which has led to low and stable inflation, a healthy current account surplus and a falling debt burden. 2. After years of stagnation, the officially measured poverty rate declined by three percentage points in 2013 over 2012, dropping to 24.6 percent. However, in the first half of 2014, poverty increased by one percentage point.1 Despite this slight increase, attributed in part to Typhoon Yolanda, 2 the poverty rate dropped below 24 percent by the end of 2015. Moreover, increases in income are becoming slightly more progressive, as the real income of the bottom 30 percent of the population has been rising steadily faster than that of higher income classes. The per capita income of the bottom 30 percent grew over 20 percent in 2012-2015, while the average income of all households grew by 15.3 percent. 3. The International Monetary Fund is optimistic about the outlook
