WRI’s assessment

The Philippines Logistics Growth Index edged up to 47.8 in October 2026 from a revised 47.3 in September, remaining below its three-month average and ranking 16th of 16 in Asia-Pacific. The modest rise in the reading was anchored by a rebound in manufacturers’ confidence to a near two-year high.

“Philippine logistics activity shrank again in October, though slightly less sharply. Manufacturers were at their most confident in nearly two years, yet they reported further falls in output, new orders and employment.”
