The ECCP views the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) as a success story which has encouraged trillions of pesos worth of foreign investments, including more than 500 locators with European equity to set up shop in the Philippines. Consequently, it has led to millions of direct and indirect jobs and wealth creation, knowledge and technology transfer, as well as economic growth and development.
However, companies are now facing an unprecedented crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic that is disrupting global supply chains, dragging financial markets into all-time lows, and taking a toll on both the world’s population and economic health. The Philippines is no exception to this. Furthermore, stringent quarantine measures of the Philippine government tightened the movement of goods and company personnel.
In this webinar, learn more about PEZA’s recent issuances in response to the ongoing aforementioned crisis, and engage with PEZA DG Charito Plaza, and Philippine Ecozones Association (PHILEA) President Chito Zaldarriaga. PHILEA has twelve members representing 20 major industrial estates (IEs) in the Philippines.
