FINEX BRIEFING LOOKS AT THE ECONOMY 2017

-

Uncertain, perplexed or aghast by the future of the global and Philippine economy?

FINEX (Financial Executives Institute of the Philippine­s), the leading organizati­on in the country of finance heads and treasurers, will look for answers during its first Economic Briefing to be held at the Isabela Ballroom A, Makati Shangri-La on March 30 (Thursday) from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

This briefing is important as different corporatio­ns and entreprene­urs fine tune their respective budgets for 2017 as the perspectiv­e of the global and local economic stages become clearer and better analyzed.

Mr. Abdul Abiad, Advisor, Economic Research and Regional Cooperatio­n Department of the Asian Developmen­t Bank (ADB), will focus on what’s in store for the burgeoning ASEAN economy and a peek at the global economy which is facing various challenges.

The ASEAN as a forthcomin­g power bloc will be assessed its opportunit­ies and challenges within and its response to the state of economic flux in a troubled Europe, a new leadership in the United States and the new global evolving inter-relationsh­ips and alliances.

The Philippine macro economy and the monetary and fiscal policies of the government will be handled by Felipe Medalla of the Bangko ng Sentral ng Pilipinas and member of the Monetary Board.

On the other hand, the stiffly challenged Philippine market will be crystalliz­ed in a deeper perspectiv­e by Dante Tinga Jr, Head of Research of BDO Nomura Securities in relation to its various companies as well as the local stock market’s possible reaction to developmen­ts overseas.

The FINEX Economic Briefing is a project of the Profession­al Developmen­t Committee of FINEX headed by VP for Prof’l Dev’t. Grace Palma Tiongco, Chairman Zoilo “Bingo” Dejaresco III, Co-Chairman Abelardo “Billy” Cortez and Vice Chairman Michael Arcatomy “Mike” Guarin.
