  • The Philippines growth rate for the last few years has been high and stable at 6% to 6.9% and is projected to remain at the 6% level or higher over a sustained period of time. This sustained growth poster a fertile environment for investors.

  • She shares the fact that there are strong institutions in the Philippines, like the Central bank, which is very reliable and transparent in monetary policy. This is one assurance to investors that the Philippines is a good place to invest.
