Transport Infrastructure in the Philippines: From Plans to Actual Allocation

Abstract

The Philippine government historically underinvested in transport infrastructure, but this began to change a few decades ago when the country's financial position became relatively more favorable. The immense need to fast-track transport infrastructure investments is driven mainly by two pressure points: (1) the accumulated gap in transport infrastructure due to years of neglect and (2) the country's sustained economic growth, which has further increased the demand for public infrastructure. This study provides a characterization and analysis of the government’s strategy to intensify its spending on transport infrastructure by examining relevant statistics and public documents. It traces the government’s progress in addressing the public infrastructure backlog. The analysis covers the years 2000 to the present, during which administrations have vowed to intensify government spending on physical infrastructure.
