Inanunsyo ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr., na opisyal nang upper-middle income country ang Pilipinas, matapos ang halos apat na dekadang pagiging lower-middle income country ng bansa.
“It is also a vote of confidence in our country’s future. Greater confidence means more investments. More investments mean more businesses, better quality jobs and more opportunities for Filipino families.” — Pangulong Marcos.
Sabi ng Pangulo, sa mga nakalipas na taon, ang mga Pilipino ay nanatili sa pagpapamalas ng kanilang sipag para sa Pilipinas.
“This is worth celebrating because economic progress is not meant to stay on paper. It is meant to open doors, put food on the table and give every Filipino the chance to build a better life.” — Pangulong Marcos.
Ang pagiging upper-middle income ng bansa ay sumasalamin lamang na nakikita ng buong mundo ang tiyaga ng mga Pilipino.
“That is the work we will continue to do until every family feels the benefits of our country’s progress.” — Pangulong Marcos.
Sabi pa ng Pangulo, ang steady economic growth, at malawak na stable currency at long-term reforms na ipinatutupad ng gobyerno, ay nagpatatag lamang sa ekonomiya ng bansa, kahit pa aniya sa gitna ng mga pagbabago sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng mundo.
“For years, Filipinos have worked hard to build this country. Today, the world has taken notice. The Philippines has officially become an upper-middle income country.” — Pangulong Marcos.
Pinatutunayan rin nito ang progresong nakakamit ng bansa, dahil sa pagiging matatag ng mga Pilipino.
“After nearly four decades as a lower-middle-income country since 1987, this milestone affirms that the economic policies we have pursued over the past four years have been effective. Our steady economic growth, broadly stable currency and long-term reforms have strengthened our economy even amid global uncertainties. It validates the progress we have made and the resilience of the Filipino people.” —Pangulong Marcos.
