Philippines Manufacturing Sector Ebbs In January - S&P
(RTTNews) - The manufacturing sector in the Philippines continued to expand in January, albeit at a slower rate, the latest survey from S&P Global revealed on Thursday with a manufacturing PMI score of 50.9.

In line with softer demand conditions, manufacturing companies in the Philippines raised their production levels at a historically subdued rate.
