At EastWest Bank, we believe we are past the time of laying the groundwork and are now up to the task in realizing our full potential as a significant player in the Philippine banking arena. This simply means being agile, smart, and constantly on our toes as we keep up and stay ahead in the intensely competitive banking industry. Riding the Wave In 2017, we entered the third phase of our long-term growth plan for the Bank: “Realizing Full Potential.” Thankfully, the year had been generally conducive to business. After several years of slow growth, the global economy returned to recovery mode. According to the International Monetary Fund, global real GDP grew 3.6% in 2017, the fastest pace in five years. Asia continued to be the bright spot for the world in 2017 with positive business sentiment and key equity markets hitting new peaks in major Asian markets. The Philippine economy kept apace, and was among the fastest- growing economies in the region. Recovery in the agriculture sector, strong government spending on infrastructure, as well as better exports and imports, boosted GDP growth to 6.7% in 2017. Household consumption increased by 5.5% in 2017 and had a ripple effect on many industries, including banking, real estate, retail, construction and in the local automotive sector. Growth in auto sales hit a record high of 17.66% as sales totaled 473,943 units in 2017. 6 EASTWEST BANK 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 7 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN EastWest Bank was able to ride on this economic momentum emerging markets, spelling a significant growth with a 20% growth in our auto loans business, contributing to opportunity for lenders like EastWest Bank.
