‘Creative economy’ to spur new growth

THE government is anticipating upbeat prospects that the “creative economy” could offer—not only for the Philippines, but for the whole Asean community, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ramon Lopez said on Wednesday.

“The British Council is currently collaborating with the Philippines—through the Design Center and the Asean Creative Cities—to further stimulate and mobilize the Philippines’ local creative economy,” Lopez said during the Asean Creative Cities Forum.
