The Philippine economy continues to demonstrate resilience as it enters 2026, supported by steady growth fundamentals and sustained investor interest. Analysts project GDP growth in the 5.5–6.0% range, underpinned by rising trade activity and expanding market access through new Free Trade Agreements. The Philippines’ assumption of the ASEAN Chairmanship further strengthens opportunities for regional collaboration and engagement.
Alongside these positive indicators, businesses continue to navigate challenges related to regulation, investment processes, and compliance. The 10th Joint Economic Briefing, jointly hosted by the Belgian-Filipino Business Chamber, British Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, Dutch Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines, French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Philippines, Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines, Swiss Chamber of Commerce, German-Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, and the Nordic Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines at Makati Shangri-La, will examine recent trade and policy developments, the outlook for economic growth, and key regulatory considerations.
The briefing will offer insights on trade policies, investment opportunities, and strategies that support sustained growth and economic resilience in the Philippines, with discussions highlighting opportunities across priority sectors, including logistics, manufacturing, technology, and renewable energy.
