FFCCCII eyes faster 2026 growth with ASEAN chairmanship

The Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) anticipates economic growth acceleration in 2026, driven by the Philippines' upcoming ASEAN chairmanship.

FFCCCII President Victor Lim expressed cautious optimism, acknowledging geopolitical risks and inflation while highlighting the Philippines' strategic position for growth.

The chamber believes ASEAN chairmanship will enhance the Philippines' economic visibility and investor perception, potentially attracting more foreign direct investment (FDI).

Chairing ASEAN offers a platform to showcase the Philippines' strong macroeconomic fundamentals, a youthful workforce, and public-private partnership opportunities.

However, the FFCCCII stressed that sustained economic growth hinges on the continuation of crucial policy reforms.
