Isa itong exclusive na pagpupulong na nilahukan ng iba-ibang CEOs o Chief Executive Officers ng mga nangungunang negosyo sa Australia.

“Locating in the Philippines means Australian companies will get access to the RCEP participating countries, convenient access to the ASEAN market, and to other key markets through our Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) with other countries and regions such as EU, EFTA, UK, Russia, Canada and the US... 

Investments are placed highly on the president’s economic agenda. With the Philippine government’s continued commitment to streamlining business processes, improving infrastructure, and ensuring energy security combined with new legislations passed such as the CREATE Act, we are ready to make it happen for Australian investors in the Philippines,” sabi ni Argayoso. 

“We are confident things will continue to improve in the Philippines. Economists such as London-based macroeconomic research organization, Capital Economics, projected the Philippines to become the 18th biggest economy in 2050,” pahayag naman ni America, Asia, Oceania and Europe Ayala Land regional head Caroline Magpantay.
