Infra trends, opportunities presented at book launch
BEFORE an investor pours in funds into a new market, he first studies it, learning its strengths and weaknesses and planning a strategy to maximize its potential. No matter what field he is in, there is a wealth of information that only needs to be tapped to guide a businessman in his decision.
Investors in the infrastructure sector have their homework easier with the recent launch of Infrastructure In-depth: Philippines, the annual investment guide in a discussion organized by R.G. Manabat & Co. (RGM&Co.), together with KPMG International’s Global Head of Infrastructure James Stewart at the Tower Club, Makati City.
During the robust discussion with top executives from investment companies and banks, Stewart provided insights on key trends and opportunities facing the infrastructure sector.
He expressed optimism that, although the upcoming elections may pose risks and challenges in sustaining its infrastructure pipeline, the Philippines still emerges as a “strong investment country” and that infrastructure development in the country is crucial to attract more foreign direct investments.
Infrastructure In-depth: Philippines provides an overview of the Philippine infrastructure industry for companies and businessmen who are interested to invest in this sector. The report highlights important issues, laws and regulations affecting the industry, the government’s development plans, taxation and funding of infrastructure projects, and project risk management. The publication also tackles key insights in the infrastructure sector from the firm’s partners and professionals who have extensive industry experience.
“The Philippines remains one of the fastest-growing nations in the Asia Pacific, and is poised to be one of the strongest economies in Southeast Asia, with rating agencies consistently upgrading the country’s credit ratings with a positive and stable outlook,” said Emmanuel Bonoan, vice chairman and head of tax, CEO, of RGM&Co., the Philippine member-firm of KPMG International.
“As the country continues to attract investments and move toward further progress, we believe that this publication will help Philippine and foreign investors take advantage of the growth potential in the infrastructure sector.”
