Executive Summary

Robust domestic economy. Investments pick-up complementing strong

consumption story. Remittances and BPO revenues resilient despite sluggish

global economy.

Accelerating corporate profits. We see core profit growth for our stock coverage

universe accelerating from 5% in 2015 to 10% and 12% respectively in 2016 and

2017.

Pro-active policies. Government plans to address growth bottlenecks (including

poor quality infrastructure) should sustain economic growth.

Supportive liquidity conditions. Interest rates remain low. Government and

private sector balance sheets appear healthy.

What concerns us? The stock market is trading above its historical average of

15x Price to Earnings (PE) Ratio. With valuations no longer cheap, share prices

may be sensitive to bad news or turns in sentiment.

Core economic views

Macro outlook remains positive

8

We forecast GDP growth of 6.7% and 6.3% respectively for 2016 and 2017,

helped by expected pro-growth government policies and a continuation of

reforms that encourage more private sector investments.

BPO revenues and remittances should remain resilient despite sluggish global

growth and weak commodity prices

A narrower current account surplus, driven by growth-supportive capital goods

imports is not a significant source of concern.

We see more expansionary fiscal policy going forward, forecasting slightly wider

fiscal deficits (at 2.2% and 2.7% of GDP) in 2016-17. Accompanying tax reform

measures should nonetheless bolster fiscal sustainability.

The BSP has started to increase its mopping up of excess liquidity in the

banking system. We forecast cumulative 50bps of hikes in 1H17.

Addressing the growth bottlenecks

24

Duterte Administration 10-Point Economic Agenda

1 Continue and maintain the current macroeconomic policies including fiscal, monetary and trade policies.

2Institute progressive tax reform and more efficient tax collection, indexing taxes to inflation. A tax reform package will

be submitted to Congress by September 2016.

3

Increase competitiveness and the ease of doing business. This effort will draw upon successful models used to

attract business to local cities (e.g. Davao), and pursue the relaxation of the Constitutional restrictions on foreign

ownership, except as regards to land ownership, in order to attract foreign direct investment.

4Accelerate annual infrastructure spending to account for 5% of GDP, with Public-Private Partnerships playing a key

role.

5Promote rural and value chain development toward increasing agricultural and rural enterprise productivity and rural

tourism.

6Ensure security of land tenure to encourage investments, and address bottlenecks in land management and titling

agencies.

7Invest in human capital development, including health and education systems, and match skills and training to meet

the demand of businesses and the private sector.

8Promote science, technology, and the creative arts to enhance innovation and creative capacity towards self-

sustaining, inclusive development.

9Improve social protection programs, including the government’s Conditional Cash Transfer program, to protect the

poor against instability and economic shocks.

10Strengthen implementation of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law to enable especially poor

couples to make informed choices on financial and family planning.

Bull vs Bear barometers

Economy (bullish): economic growth healthy as investments pick-up

complements solid domestic consumption story.

Corporate profit trend (bullish): Despite a weak 1Q16 results season,

consensus estimates maintain gradual acceleration in aggregate YoY profit

growth from 8-10% in 2016F to 10-12% in 2017F.

Liquidity (bullish): Interest rates remain low. Gov’t and private sector balance

sheets healthy.

Investor sentiment (Neutral): Smooth political transition priced in. Collateral

damage from the government’s “all-out” war on drugs and policy U-turns a

concern.

Valuations (bearish): PER multiples at 19.5x look pricey versus historical

average of 15x. Share prices may be sensitive to bad news or turns in sentiment.
