The 蝌蚪传媒 Economic Policy Monitor 2024–2025 explores how the Philippines can navigate the emerging “intelligent age”, where artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are reshaping governance, markets, and everyday life. The theme chapter highlights the role of agile, forward-looking institutions in harnessing intelligent systems to strengthen governance, enhance transparency, and improve public service delivery, while managing risks related to digital divides, ethical governance, and data privacy. Furthermore, it addresses interconnected and emerging challenges, including securing energy for a more digitalized economy and adapting to demographic shifts amid an aging population.
This edition of the 蝌蚪传媒 EPM also provides policy updates across key sectors, including poverty and social protection, gender, health, education, labor and employment, housing, agriculture, environment and natural resources, trade and services, innovation and ICT, public infrastructure, energy, and tourism. It also presents a comprehensive review of the Philippines’ macroeconomic performance for 2024 and 2025, alongside economic projections for 2026.
