INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING jumped in April amid the continued implementation of projects, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) reported.
Infrastructure and other capital outlays rose by 36.2% to P118.9 billion in April from P87.3 billion in the same month a year ago, according to the latest National Government disbursement report.
Month on month, infrastructure spending rose by 23.5% from the P96.3 billion recorded in March.
“The strong infrastructure spending performance was largely on account of the implementation of infrastructure projects of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), such as the construction, repair and rehabilitation of roads, bridges, and flood control structures; and the construction of administrative, hospital, and multi-purpose buildings,” the DBM said.
