The Philippines recorded a faster pace of export growth in May 2026, with overseas shipments rising 7.6% year-over-year, up from a 6.3% increase in April 2026. The latest data, updated on 30 June 2026, highlight a strengthening export performance in the second quarter.
Both the current and previous readings compare each month’s export growth to the same month a year earlier, underscoring a continuing improvement in the country’s external sector. The acceleration from April to May suggests that demand for Philippine goods abroad remained resilient, providing support to overall economic activity as the mid-year period begins.
