These four core indicators reveal Philippines's trade integration profile across openness, scale, and investment attraction. Trade % of GDP shows economic openness, Total Trade Value reflects absolute market engagement, FDI % of GDP measures investment attractiveness relative to economy size, and FDI Inflows shows absolute foreign investment confidence. Together, they form the foundation for understanding trade competitiveness and identifying priority areas for economic integration.

Are our trade openness and FDI inflows improving? Which sectors drove these trade performance changes, and where are the biggest opportunities for further integration?
This visualization tracks shifts in export composition, emphasizing the share of manufactured and high-tech goods. Rising shares signal progress toward higher-value production and diversification, while flat or declining patterns suggest dependence on low-value sectors. These insights can inform strategies to upgrade export capabilities and promote innovation-driven industrial growth.

How has trade policy evolved to support export diversification and higher-value manufacturing?
This chart traces tariff rate movements against regional averages, offering a view of policy liberalization and trade facilitation. A declining trend demonstrates stronger market access and regulatory openness, while slower progress may point to areas where tariff reforms could improve competitiveness and attract investment.

How do non-tariff measures complement tariff policies in regulating trade across different sectors?
This section examines the coverage and frequency of non-tariff measures (NTMs) by product category, revealing how regulations shape market entry conditions.
The coverage ratio and frequency ratio are common indicators to analyze the incidence of NTMs. Both refer to the share of imports subject to one or more NTMs. The frequency ratio measures the number of product lines affected by NTMs, while the coverage ratio measures the value of imports affected by NTMs. If the coverage ratio is greater than the frequency ratio, it indicates that the impact of NTM is high on that sector. High NTM coverage indicates sectors where compliance costs or regulatory complexity are significant, while lower coverage highlights relatively open trade environments. These patterns help identify where policy harmonization or regulatory streamlining may be needed.
The information below is the latest information from WITS, based on the total number of NTMS in force at the time of data collection. You may find more information on NTMs in this link.
