UKABC Roundtable with The Philippine Government

Wednesday 30 October 2024, Prudential, London.

UKABC was honoured to host a high-level delegation from the Philippine Government including Secretaries leading the Departments of Finance, Energy and Budget and Management.

On this occasion, we were delighted to also be joined by the Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs and the Deputy Governor of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Philippines Central Bank).

In this discussion, UKABC partners including Arup, BDO LLP, the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment, KPMG, HSBC and PwC UK were able to hear the latest updates on the Philippine Economy and learn about the reforms underway led by President Marcos Jr. This dialogue also underlined the Philippines’ openness for investment and explored some of the opportunities for the UK to enhance its engagement with this leading ASEAN economy.

UKABC thanks Prudential plc for hosting the roundtable and extends special thanks to Sanjay Chakrabarty, President and CEO of Pru Life UK in the Philippines for making time in his schedule to participate in the discussion.

UKABC and its partners look forward to building on this informative dialogue in preparation for the Philippines becoming Chair of ASEAN in 2026.
