Coherent policy responses to the crisis in the Philippines

Crafting coherent policy responses to the crisis in the Philippines

The paper assesses if and how results have been achieved, so far and whether these can provide lessons or models for other countries in providing a strategic and coherent response to the global crisis.

In the context of the Philippines, the study will give an overview of the macroeconomy and how the global crisis affected it including the labour market. How the government responded and also, the preliminary outcomes and impact of its intervention will also be examined.
