(Chinese firms hinimok ng BOI) MAG-INVEST SA PINAS

HINIMOK ng Philippine Board of Investments (BOI) ang Chinese companies na seryosong ikonsidera ang Pilipinas para paglagakan ng investments, partikular sa larangan ng teknolohiya, vaccine manufacturing, agrikultura, digitalization, at iba pa.

“Expand and to further diversify your business in the Philippines. Together, let us make this happen in the Philippines,” pahayag ni Trade Undersecretary and BOI Managing Head Undersecretary Ceferino Rodolfo sa katatapos na China (Fujian)-Philippines Economic and Trade Conference.

“As the Philippines has one of the largest deposits for both nickel and cobalt, the key ingredients for making lithium-ion batteries, investments in the processing facilities for such mineral products are profitable,” sabi pa ni Undersecretary Rodolfo.

Binigyang-diin din ng opisyal ang investments sa energy storage products tulad ng electric vehicle batteries at renewable energy battery banks.

Ang iba pang investment area na binanggit ni Rodolfo ay ang assembly at manufacture products, partikular ang consumer durables gaya ng transportation equipment at consumer electronics, IT products, at  household appliances.

Kamakailan ay inaprubahan ng BOI ang dalawang Chinese projects sa larangan ng motorcycle assembly, gayundin sa  bicycle assembly, kabilang ang electronics.

“The Philippines, similar to other countries, is experiencing a surge in demand for this solo mobility type of transportation equipment,” aniya.

Ibinida rin ng Undersecretary ang investment opportunities sa health-related products tulad ng medicines, vaccines, at medical devices, na umuusbong na industriya sa bansa dahil sa presensiya ng supply chain para sa manufacturing.

Dagdag pa niya, may kakayahan din ang bansa para sa tools and die, chemical industry, semiconductors, plastics, at metal parts, na pawang may kinalaman sa produksiyon ng medical devices at mga bahagi nito.

Aniya, ang Pilipinas ay may mga industriya at pasilidad tulad ng electronics products development center, at advanced device at materials testing laboratory para suportahan ang manufacturing, product design, at R&D para sa medical devices.

“Growth in the field of medical devices in the Philippines is expected to be driven by the government’s initiative to upgrade and build more health facilities to support the projected demand from 2025 to 2040.”
