Government aims to surpass last year’s P1.9 trillion investments pledges
The Philippines is set to resume its investment roadshows soon, aiming to surpass last year's record P1.9 trillion in approved investment pledges.
Secretary Frederick D. Go, who heads the Office of the Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs (OSAPIEA), stated that legal challenges to unilateral US tariffs have cleared the way for investment promotion.
The investment team aims to restart these crucial roadshows within the current year, having been delayed in the first half due to tariff uncertainties.
The government is enhancing the ease of doing business through reforms such as the Capital Market Efficiency Promotion Act, the Public Private Partnership Code, and the CREATE MORE Act.
