INVESTMENTS PA TARGET NG BOI

UMAASA ang Philippine Board of Investments (BOI) sa pagpasok ng mas maraming investments kasunod ng paglagda sa newly-enhanced Investments Promotion Units Network Memorandum of Agreement (IPU Net MOA) noong ­Hulyo 2019.

Pinalaki ng MOA ang bilang ng participating government departments at agencies mula sa orihinal na 27 sa 37 para sa mas ma-lakas na kolaborasyon na naglalayong higit na mapadali ang pagnenegosyo at maging kumpetitibo ang bansa sa paghikayat ng in-vestments.

Sa kanyang keynote address ay sinabi ni Trade Secretary and BOI Chairman Ramon M. Lopez na, “This is a whole government approach. With the addition of new agencies, this is one team we are presenting so that that we can all work together and act as one in helping address all concerns of investors. The sentiment of investors has been generally very favorable as we have experienced record level of investments in the past two years. With the share of foreign investors steadily increasing, we are aiming to hit over a trillion pesos worth of investments this year. This enhanced MOA will make it more easy for the investors to bring in more capital and expand and for the country to bring more opportunities and create more jobs.”

Magmula noong 2007, ang IPU Net MOA ay isa nang commitment mula sa mga orihinal na miyembro bilang ‘collective re-sponsibility’ upang maipagpatuloy ang pagpupunyagi ng gobyerno sa mabilis na pagtugon sa mga isyu, pagpapasimple sa proce-dures at pagkakaroon ng maayos na koordinasyon ng mga miyembro upang agad na maaksiyunan ang lahat ng all investment-related transactions.

“So many things have happened since then in the economic, technological and policy fronts that we now need to modernize the MOA to reflect these changes,” ani Trade Secretary and BOI Managing Head Ceferino S. Rodolfo.

“With the strengthened partnership of BOI and the old and new members of the newly enhanced IPU Net MOA and the direct involvement of the ARTA, the agency sees the opportunity of building a trust-based relationship with the private sector stakeholders leading to better opportunities of sustaining investments growth and business expansion.
