WRI’s assessment

The Philippines Logistics Growth Index declined to 48.2 in July, a 0.6-point drop from the prior month, as severe supply chain disruptions and muted corporate sentiment outweighed resilient production volumes. The Transportation Index contracted sharply to 47.0, driven by Middle East conflict impacts that sharply lengthened supplier delivery times.
