The Philippines GDP advanced at a record pace of 8.0 percent quarter-on-quarter in the third quarter of 2020, as the economy recovered from the COVID-19 shocks. That followed a downwardly revised 14.9 percent contraction in the prior period, which was the steepest fall on record, when the economy was in the strictest lockdown globally. Industry output rose 7.6%, rebounding from an 18% plunge in Q2, largely due to electricity, steam, water, and waste management. Also, the service sector rebounded (9.5% vs -15.8%), led by financial and insurance; public administration and defense; and information and communication. In addition, agriculture, forestry, and fishing rose by 1 percent, after a 1.1 percent gain in Q2. Top contributors to the growth were palay, corn, and agriculture support activities. source: National Statistics Office of Philippines
