Speaker predicts US investments owing into PH

SPEAKER Ferdinand Martin Romualdez on Monday expressed confidence in an imminent influx of American investments into the Philippines following the highly successful Philippine Dialogue in Washington D.C. to pitch the country as an attractive investment hub.

During the dialogue, Finance Secretary Ralph Recto showcased before American investors the visionary leadership of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. and his administration’s sound fiscal and economic policies, along with a slew of pro-business reforms that effectively rolled out the red carpet for both foreign and domestic investors.

Romualdez and Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez were among the guests during the event which drew around 90 executives from US-based funds and corporations, multilateral institutions, and the public sector.

“The Philippine Dialogue marked a significant milestone in our efforts to foster robust economic partnerships with the United States,” the Speaker said.

He noted that during the event, several American investors with ongoing investments in the Philippines came forward to express their desire to expand their operations in the country and gave support to the government’s plans to further improve the ease of doing business in the Philippines.
