NEDA said a modest 4.8 percent growth in Philippines exports with ASEAN countries and a 3.9 percent growth in the European Union helped cushion the impact of the decline in traditional markets such as the United States (-8.7 percent) and Japan (-9 percent).
For Philippine imports, NEDA recorded a 4.5 percent growth in ASEAN and 0.5 percent growth in EU.
