WITH the Philippines’s continuing economic growth during the last six years, the country’s business leaders believe it is time to focus on inclusive growth under the new administration.

“Inclusive growth will have a true meaning for the country in a sense that not only the economic growth of 6.5 percent or 7 percent will continue, but how we address the 25 percent of the population still living below poverty line,” Asian Institute of Management (AIM) President Dr. Jikyeong Kang said during the AIM for Change discussion at Fairmont Hotel Makati on Wednesday last week.
