On the part of BSP, please rest assured that we stand ready to support efforts to fuel further FDI growth in the Philippines within the bounds of our mandate. It is my view that pursuing business opportunities in the Philippines will indeed be mutually beneficial for both foreign investors and the domestic economy. Thank you very much and a pleasant day to all.
While the farm share of economic output has declined as other parts of our economy have grown, increased activity in broader agricultural industries – manufacturing, transportation, distribution and food retailing – has opened new job opportunities in both rural and metro communities.
