Infrastructure In The Philippines

Of the ASEAN-6 countries, the Philippines’ infrastructure ranks behind that of Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand and is about on par with that of Indonesia and Vietnam.

With a high concentration of cell phone users, the cellular industry is booming in the Philippines.

In some respects, the industry is more advanced and integrated here than even in the United States, with over five million people using their cell phones as digital wallets and using cellular networks for all of their financial transactions.

On the other hand, the country underinvests in its physical infrastructure year after year, consistently spending under 3% of annual GDP on it.
