Seasons Greetings & Best Wishes for the New Year

Picture
This year has been an extremely difficult year for all of us with a lingering pandemic. However, we believe that there is always light at the end of a long dark tunnel, especially where there is hope.

This Yuletide Season reminds all of us that there is always Hope for better times and the strength of Humanity as a whole will help us all get through these trials and challenges.

The Filipino Christmas Parol is a symbol of such light and hope. This year, Disney featured a tutorial on how to craft at home with your loved ones, this important symbol of the Filipino people, in celebrating this joyous season of hope and love. (Click here: https://youtu.be/Da7-Uh6Mj-4)

From all of us, a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Trade Promotion. 
We contribute to increasing and sustaining Philippine exports through business matching, international networking with foreign buyers and trade organizations, and assistance to overseas and local businesses. We spearhead in-store promotions, catalogue shows, and campaigns with foreign businessmen, as well as trade missions to and from the Philippines.
 
Investment Promotion. 
Global financial institutions have recognized the Philippines as a key investment destination. We join investment missions to
introduce foreign investors to Philippine businessmen who are open to capital infusion. Once potential and prospective investors (including Overseas Filipino Investors) are identified, investment advice and counseling are provided to them.
 
Commercial Intelligence. 
Information is critical in enabling businesses and investors make an informed decision on commercial matters. To meet this end, we conduct market research for specific Philippine products, including commercial, industrial, and economic monitoring to benefit the government, industry players, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) all over the Philippines.
 
Trade Negotiations. 
We recognize that trade policy provides the institutional setting within which trade and investment relations take place. We are the lead source of international business climate issues affecting trade negotiations and trade policy.

​We also actively participate in multilateral trade engagements, within the forum of the World Trade Organization (WTO), as well as bilateral and regional Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) to harness trade opportunities for the Philippines’ economic development.

With Taiwan, and through MECO and its counterpart Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office in Manila, the Philippines engages Taiwan via the Joint Economic Commission mechanism to discuss trade and investment cooperation and development between the two economies. 
 
Services to Overseas Filipino Investors. 
​We provide potential Overseas Filipino Investors trade and investment information and advice to assist them in their entrepreneurial or investment ventures in the Philippines.
