Despite the global economic crisis, the Philippines recorded its highest GDP growth rate in 34 Years in 2010. The strong 7.1% growth in the last quarter brought its full year GDP growth to 7.3% from 1.1% in 2009.
The Philippines’ economic reforms have also placed greater emphasis on creating an even more vibrant business environment to attract foreign investments and businesses. These efforts by the Aquino administration will present many opportunities for Singapore-based companies to engage in the Philippines.
This Lecture by His Excellency President Aquino offers our Singapore participants an excellent opportunity to learn the latest developments and business opportunities in the “new “ Philippines.
The Singapore Business Federation, IE Singapore and the Embassy of the Republic of Philippines cordially invite your company to attend this lecture
