Moreover, let's talk about Sunlife's Market Outlook for 2020. Among the factors that are expected to boost the Philippine economy next year are lower prices and accelerated government spending.

"After reviewing the fundamentals, we are confident that the economy is set to significantly improve in the coming year.

While inflation fell to a low of 0.8% in October 2019, we expect prices to slowly inch up as we foresee the year 2020 inflation at .4%. This figure is much lower than 2018 inflation of 5.21%. Our year-2019 USD- PHP forecast is at 51.00, and 2020 slightly higher at 52.50. Our PSEi target for 2020 is at 9,460 with a price-earnings multiple index of 18.2 times, while we foresee the earnings to have a growth rate of 10.40%. Given these possibilities, we highly encourage investors to stay the course.
