The Youngest Population in Asia Supports a Strong Medium-term Economic Growth Outlook
The median age in the Philippines is only 22.2 years, well below other young countries in Asia, such as Malaysia (25), India (25.1), Indonesia (27.8) and Vietnam (28.2) According to United Nations population projections, in 2015 the Philippines will enter its Demographic Window, when the proportion of the population that is of working age is particularly prominent The Philippines is the last major Asian economy to benefit from this demographic dividend, which is typically associated with accelerated economic growth Extended periods of high GDP growth in Asias fastest-growing economies have coincided with countries entering their Demographic Windows* On average, growth over the 10-year period following the beginning of the Demographic Window has been 7.3%

Eleven Years of Commitment to the Investor Community The effective implementation of the Governments economic program and its success depends on regular two-way dialogue between economic policy makers and the investment community. The Investor Relations Office (IRO) was established in July 2001 to strengthen the countrys relations with investors and other stakeholders by promoting active channels of information flow and dialogue between economic policy makers and investors. Based in the Philippine central bank, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the IRO has a dedicated staff comprised of trained economists and communication specialists who work with colleagues in the BSP and the economic agencies to implement a wide-ranging program of investor relations activities. As the Government has implemented its economic reform program over the last ten years, the IROs program of investor outreach has helped to ensure that investor decisions benefit from a comprehensive understanding of the progress in reforms and what they mean for the economic fundamentals of the Philippines. In turn, the Governments economic reform program has made the economy relatively more resilient amid the global financial and economic crisis. With stable macroeconomic fundamentals, the Philippines remains as one of the most viable economies for investments in the emerging market. The IRO is proud to have played a role in communicating the successes of the Governments reform program in the last eleven years and is committed to continuing its efforts to promote the Philippine economy.
Serving Our Stakeholders in the Philippines and Internationally The IRO provides services to a wide range of stakeholders the Governments economic agencies, financial institutions, credit rating agencies, bilateral and multilateral organizations, domestic and foreign investors, the diplomatic corps, business people, the media and the general public. All services to its stakeholders are underpinned by a set of fundamental principles: transparency, accessibility, timeliness, consistency and feedback. The IRO adopts a multi-pronged approach to serving its stakeholders through: Dissemination of key economic and financial information about economic policy objectives and performance Seeking market feedback on current and proposed policy measures Providing feedback to economic policy-makers about investor sentiment Facilitating candid and constructive dialogue between policymakers and investors
