MANILA — Bankers and financial analysts pick Senator Grace Poe in a survey for potential presidential candidates conducted by Bloomberg Business.

Twelve out of the 23 respondents chose Poe while four picked Secretary Mar Roxas and three chose Vice President Jejomar Binay  in the survey conducted in June.

Poe was also the leading presidential candidate in the surveys conducted by Pulse Asia and the Social Weather Stations last month.

Binay, who was the long-time frontrunner of the surveys was outranked by Poe last month.

Meanwhile, more than half of those who answered the survey believes that the country’s economy will expand at least six percent in the next 10 years.

The survey also showed that “infrastructure investment” should be the focus of the next administration.

This is while maintaining the anti-corruption drive started by the Aquino administration.
