The Philippines is one of the most dynamic economies in the South-East Asia Pacific region. With increasing urbanization, a growing middle class, and a large and young population, the Philippines’ economic dynamism is rooted in strong consumer demand supported by a vibrant labor market and robust remittances.
According to the World Bank, the Philippines has sustained an average growth rate of 6.4% between 2010-2019, making it one of the world's fastest-growing economies and continues to attract strong and viable foreign investments.
Through this webinar, in partnership with the Department for International Trade Midlands, the British Chamber of Commerce Philippines aims to guide and encourage more UK companies to access overseas markets such as the Philippines.
Companies interested in the Philippine market are invited to attend this webinar to discover the opportunities, challenges and trends in the country’s ecommerce and retail industry.
