Despite fears of a global slowdown in the US and other countries as well as lower government spending, the Philippines remains a faster-growing market compared to the rest of Southeast Asia, affirms EastWest Bank Senior Vice President and Trust Officer Rob B. Ramos in an interview with One News's Market Insights program last July 19.

Ramos explains that the growth is likely due to interest rates going lower around the world. He also claims the Philippines can retain its top position through two factors: global interest rates staying on the downtrend and corporate earnings meeting their double-digit targets, the latter of which he predicts is going to be better than last year.
