The Philippine economy continues to navigate significant global and local challenges, such as inflation and broader economic pressures, yet remains resilient. According to the World Bank, the country's GDP is projected to grow by 6.1% in 2025, up from 6.0% in 2024 and 5.6% in 2023. This growth is expected to be driven by strong domestic demand, increased public investment, easing inflation, steady remittances, and improvements in the labour market.

Against this backdrop, the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) will host its annual Philippine Economic Outlook. With the participation of key resource speakers, the event will assess the country's economic health and analyse projections for the coming year. The session will explore trade and investment opportunities, the government's socio economic priorities, and sectors poised for growth. It will also offer insights to help businesses adjust their strategies in line with current economic conditions and trends, while accounting for financial challenges and external pressures.

Furthermore, the event will present the findings of the 2025 ECCP Business Sentiment Survey, which provides insights into the overall economic outlook as perceived by ECCP member companies across 24 sector committees. These findings will guide recommendations and priorities for both the private and public sectors, contributing to a more favourable investment and business environment in the Philippines.
