Inaasahan ang mahigit 20 business deals na nagkakahalagang P300 billion mula sa pagbisita ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa Japan, ayon sa Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
Tinataya namang 80,000 trabaho ang magbubukas para sa mga Pilipino sakaling mapirmahan ang mga business agreement sa dadaluhan ng Pangulo na 25th NIKKEI Conference on the Future of Asia, May 30 – 31.
“Japanese investors remain bullish on the sustained growth momentum under the administration of President Duterte, given its aggressive infrastructure build-up, meaningful investment and financial reforms, and demographic advantages,” ani Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez.
Dagdag ng DTI, karamihan sa investment pledges ay para sa infrastructure, manufacturing, electronics, medical devices, business process outsourcing (BPO), power, electricity, transport, automotive, food manufacturing, at marine manpower industries.
