Discover the remarkable journey of the Philippines, an archipelago with over 7,641 islands, as it becomes a “New Asian Tiger” in the ASEAN region. With a young and dynamic workforce and a GDP growth rate of 6.0% between 2020 and 2023, the country’s economic rise is driven by sectors like Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), tourism, and remittances from Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). In this video, we explore the historical context, from Spanish and American colonial periods to the post-World War II era, that shapes its economic narrative. Key government policies like the “Ease of Doing Business Act” and the “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure initiative are propelling its growth. However, challenges such as natural disasters, political instability, and income inequality persist. Dive deep into the economic forecasts, future prospects in tech and innovation, tourism evolution, and the country’s role in ASEAN integration. This is a comprehensive look at the Philippines’ transformative growth story, its present challenges, and its bright future. Don’t miss it!
