  • 2005 Annual Regional Economic Situationer (ARES)
    . CAGAYAN VALLEY ANNUAL REGIONAL ECONOMIC SITUATIONER (ARES) 2005 ASSESSMENT OF ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE Economic adversities and natural calamities pulled back the economic performance of Region 02 in the year 2005 as all the major sectors of the regional economy registered setbacks. Specifically, the decreases were recorded in agricultural production, tourism, air transport industry, and investments generated. The prolonged dry spell coupled with floods brought by typhoon “Labuyo” exacted a heavy toll on agriculture sector. While there were government measures implemented to boost production of palay, corn and other crops such as the usage of high-yielding and certified seeds, this was not enough to restrain the impact of the fortuitous weather conditions occurring in the region. Nonetheless, fishery production stepped up by 9.34 percent owing to the improvements in municipal fishing and significant gains in aquaculture. As a consequence of these natural calamities and the VAT law, inflation rate in the region went up to 6.88 percent. Inflation rate on food items increased as the weather took its toll on the supplies of these commodities. Likewise, prices of dairy products went up pulled by the implementation of the VAT which directly affects this type of food groups (processed and canned goods). The rise in the crude oil prices and the implementation of VAT, led also to the increases in transport fares, water and electricity tariffs. Related to the slide in agricultural production and increase in prices, investments generated in the region reflected a dormant performance as it barely grew by 0.86 percent. This decline was evident in all the three sectors, the Services sector having the biggest number of workers laid off during the year.
