Philippine exports climbed 21.3% year on year to $6.9 billion in November 2025, powered largely by a sharp rebound in electronics shipments, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said.

Philippine exports continued their upward trajectory in July, climbing 17.3% year-on-year to $ 7.34 billion, fueled largely by the strong performance of the electronics sector, data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) showed.
