Philippines Factory Activity Shrinks for 3rd Month
The IHS Markit Philippines Manufacturing fell to 49.2 in December 2020 from 49.9 in the prior month. This was the third straight month of contraction in the manufacturing sector, amid ongoing lockdown restrictions and poor weather. Output contracted, with the rate of drop was among the fastest in the series history. Also, job shedding persisted at a strong rate which firms linked to restructuring efforts and voluntary resignations. Backlogs of work fell further, due to spare capacity due to weaker demand conditions. A combination of material shortages and social restrictions contributed to another monthly deterioration in vendor performance. On the cost front, input prices rose for the eighth straight month, while an increase in factory-gate charges that began in May continued, with the latest rise the joint-fastest in the sequence. Lastly, sentiment improved to its highest since February.

Philippines Manufacturing Sector Stabilizes
The IHS Markit Philippines Manufacturing was up to 49.9 in November 2020 from 48.5 a month earlier, signaling a movement towards stability and was the highest reading since September. Output levels rose for the first time since June, while foreign orders expanded moderately. Meantime, new orders shrank fractionally, amid a solid rate of persistent job shedding. Further signs of unused capacity at factory plants were reflected in the fourth quickest contraction in backlogs during November. At the same time, delivery times lengthened in each month since August 2018, due to port congestions and traffic delays. On the cost front, input prices rose the most since August, amid higher raw material and transportation costs. Businesses, however, were able to partially pass higher costs onto consumers through a slight increase in selling prices. Going forward, confidence remained positive but moderated from that seen in October.
