ASSIGNMENT

Macroeconomic Performance from 2010 to 2016 of the following countries:

Philippines
Brazil
Hungary
Qatar
Poland
Chile

Reason for choosing these countries

The reason why I choose these countries is because they are considered developing
economies according to the International Monetary Funds World Economic Outlook Report,
April 2015 wherein Philippines is also one of them. I think that it would be good to compare our
country to its fellow developing countries in terms of how the economy works as a whole.
