Doing Business in the Philippines Roadshow 2021

The Philippines has consistently recorded annual GDP growth of over 6 percent since 2012. And while the Covid19 pandemic and its resulting quarantine measures has brought contraction in Philippine GDP, increasing consumer spending and reacceleration of the government’s infrastructure projects move the Philippines towards a gradual economic rebound. These key drivers to economic recovery provide opportunities for Dutch companies to expand their businesses in the Philippines.
