PH to showcase growth, potential at WEF meeting

THE upcoming World Economic Forum (WEF) on East Asia that will be held in Manila next week is a good opportunity for the country to showcase its growth achieved over the past few years, particularly to foreign investors who will be participating in the summit.

“It’s always a good time to showcase our gains to foreign investors. In this case, it’s not just leaders in civil society but leaders of [international] companies that can be large companies in the future are here. That’s why we have to make sure that we make the most out of this opportunity,” Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said during the World Economic Forum pre-summit press conference on Thursday.
