Despite a tough 2025, the Philippines found a rare bright spot in its economic performance — exports surprised analysts with unexpected growth, giving the country a much-needed boost heading into 2026.
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) reported that Philippine exports delivered surprise growth in 2025, bucking the trend of otherwise dismal economic numbers that weighed on the country's overall performance.
Electronics, semiconductors, and agricultural products led the export gains, with demand from key trading partners in the US, Japan, and China remaining resilient even as global economic conditions remained challenging.

Economists are cautiously optimistic, noting that sustained export growth could help offset domestic pressures including inflation and sluggish consumer spending, provided the government continues to support trade-friendly policies.
