Finance Secretary Frederick Go urged American firms to invest in the Philippines, highlighting its strong economic fundamentals and strategic advantages, during a recent Philippine Executive Forum in San Francisco.<\/p>\n
In a statement Wednesday, the Department of Finance (DOF) said Go cited the country\u2019s young, English-speaking workforce, stable macroeconomic environment, reform-driven policies, and expanding digital economy as key draws, along with its partnership with the United States.<\/p>\n
He also promoted priority sectors under the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., including semiconductors, renewable energy, infrastructure, and tourism.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are encouraging investments in high-impact sectors that will create meaningful jobs and support the development of our communities. These are our strategic investment pillars, and they represent both growth and stability,\u201d Go said.<\/p>\n
Despite global uncertainties, Go assured investors of the country\u2019s resilience, citing sustained growth, manageable inflation, and prudent fiscal management.<\/p>\n
The forum, held Monday and led by the DOF and co-organized by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, gathered US-based business leaders and Philippine officials to discuss trade and investment opportunities. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
