Frederick Go, Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs, highlighted in Singapore the country’s economic achievements and progress that helped solidify its position as a top investment destination in Southeast Asia.
Held at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore and hosted by DBS Global Financial Markets, the event, the 2025 Pulse of Asia Conference, attracted over 400 institutional investors and corporate leaders from across Asia. Go’s presentation, titled “Transforming the Philippine Economy: Building a Global Investment Hub,” highlighted the nation’s growth momentum, low inflation, and key reforms such as the CREATE MORE Act and the Green Lanes for Strategic Investments (EO 18). He also identified renewable energy, tourism, and major infrastructure projects under the Build Better More Program—valued at P9.6 trillion—as crucial sectors for investment.
The conference, a key platform for regional financial engagement, also showcased 13 publicly listed companies from the Philippines through First Metro Securities, providing insights into the local equity market. Secretary Go’s remarks were complemented by discussions with leading economists and regional strategists, reinforcing the Philippines’ growing influence in the global market.
The Pulse of Asia Conference remains a premier event for fostering economic ties and investment across Asia.
