    8:10 AM - 8:25 AMTrade Policies & Legislation
    The trade policies and legislation of the Philippines has encountered shifts throughout the recent years due to the proliferation of Free Trade Agreements (FTA’s) approved and joined by the Philippines. The recent entering into force of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) has caused a shift towards the economic viewpoint of the Philippines towards the upcoming years. With the Philippines aim to establish road network plans, renewable energy, and being an investment destination along with other economic opportunities, the expansion of the market presented by these provided an opportunity for further growth to the Philippine economy.

    Together with our partners, this event will explore trends and expound the crucial role of FTA’s for the imports and exports of the Philippines and what opportunities it possesses.
