Incoming Philippine government vows sweeping improvements

Davao, Philippines

PHILIPPINE President-elect Rodrigo Duterte's new economic team on Monday promised sweeping changes to boost infrastructure, fix traffic woes, improve investment frameworks and maintain the country's robust economic growth.

Mr Duterte won the country's May 9 presidential election but his victory has raised doubts about how the crime-busting former mayor with a background in law plans to manage one of Asia's fastest-growing economies.
