Philippines eyes more foreign investment after WEF

The Philippines expects increased foreign investment following its participation in the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2025 in Davos.

Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez stated that discussions at the forum reaffirmed the country's potential as a key destination for global investments, creating more job opportunities.

Romualdez expressed gratitude to President Marcos Jr. for sending a delegation that highlighted the Philippines' young workforce and pro-business policies like the CREATE MORE law and Maharlika Investment Fund.

The Philippine delegation, including Finance Secretary Ralph Recto and Trade Secretary Ma. Cristina Roque, engaged with prominent global leaders in high-level discussions and hosted the Philippine Breakfast Interaction to brief on economic potential.

Legislative reforms under the Marcos administration, such as the CREATE MORE law signed last year, were highlighted as concrete evidence of the country's readiness to address investors' concerns.
