ICT is nearly a fifth of Philippine services exports — and about $8.8bn — far denser than Malaysia or Indonesia, while travel is still a thin slice next to Thailand.
BoP ICT is not IBPAP’s ~$38bn figure — keep them apart. Singapore’s services scale is hub context, not a peer bar. Vietnam ICT composition is a gap.
What the comparison shows
Philippine ICT intensity exceeds Malaysia and Indonesia in the supplied observations, while Thailand is more travel-heavy.
Key findings from this pack
- Philippine ICT intensity exceeds Malaysia and Indonesia in the supplied observations, while Thailand is more travel-heavy.
- Vietnam’s missing composition limits peer claims. The series uses BoP definitions and varying observation years, not industry revenue.
- Read source, year and as_of; gaps are not zeros.
