Positive outlook
According to a recent statement from the Department of Finance (DOF), many businesses can capitalize on the positive economic outlook this year, with the government optimistic that the Philippines will perform even better this year.
The DOF had said that the Philippine economy is expected to remain robust given the ongoing establishment of structural reforms that will help drive and accelerate growth this year.
It also noted that most multilateral organizations share this optimism as they expect the Philippines to be one of the fastest growing economies among the major economies in Asia.
Such economic optimism presents various growth opportunities for Philippine businesses and investors to stimulate and sustain economic growth.
