Trade Sec: PH economy may recover earlier than 2023
Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez says the Philippine economy may recover earlier than 2023 despite President Duterte's projection.
Lopez believes some sectors can gradually reopen even under current quarantine restrictions as Filipinos learn to manage with the virus.
He welcomed Duterte's statement that the country will move to a less restrictive modified general community quarantine once vaccines are widely available.
The Trade chief emphasized that since August, no surge in COVID-19 cases has been recorded following gradual reopening of economic activities.
