AVCJ Annual Private Equity & Venture Forum

With strong economic fundamentals and attractive GDP growth, the Philippines is firmly placed on the international investment map. The strong banking system and one of less volatile currencies in Asia, also means the Philippines are somewhat less susceptible to macro-economic shocks than other emerging markets.

As attractive market as it is, increasing the level of investment in the Philippines to a large degree depends on improving the infrastructure development as population and business pressures require a better quality network for investors needing to scale their businesses. There is a real need for progress as this might jeopardise the growth of the country and turn off investors.

Infrastructure by far is the biggest opportunity in the country and the one where alternative investors can play a big part. With a number of projects on hold due to the impending elections, addressing the infrastructure bottleneck and capital markets reform to enable both investment and exit opportunities for private investors should be high on the agenda for the new administration.
Join the 2nd Annual AVCJ Philippines Forum to debate the latest market trends, M&A activity, project finance, capital markets development, how foreign investors view the market and the opportunity for private investors.
