ILAGAN, Isabela—The province's gross domestic product growth rate declined by 2.2 percentage points year-on-year, according to the 2025 Economic Performance of Isabela Report released Tuesday at the provincial capitol in Barangay Alibagu.
The 4.2 percent growth rate marks a significant deceleration from 2024's performance, signaling headwinds in the provincial economy. The report was presented during a formal briefing at the Amphitheater at Isabela Provincial Capitol as provincial planners assess economic trends and sectoral performance.
The slowdown reflects broader economic challenges affecting growth trajectories across major industries in the region. Provincial development officials are expected to review strategic initiatives aimed at reinvigorating economic momentum in key growth sectors.
