BOI Executive Director for Industry Development Services Ma. Corazon Halili-Dichosa stressed that the government is teaming up with industry partners to build a sturdy rapport, aimed to help businesses thrive while achieving their sustainability targets.
Additionally, HSBC Philippines CEO Sandeep Uppal shared that the country has a competitive advantage in terms of expanding economy, economic reforms, and population.
