Boosting the private sector
to fuel economic growth
9:35 am – 10:00 am
The private sector is vital in driving economic growth in the Philippines, promoting growth through investments, innovation, and job opportunities, among others. This year, its vital role can be further seen in opportunities to further partner with the public sector and in providing more investments. For continued economic growth, public-private partnerships (PPP) are seen as a step forward to foster growth and development in the upcoming year and beyond.
