Finance Secretary Benjamin E. Diokno said during the European-Philippine Business Dialogue, organized by the ECCP - European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, that resuming the free trade agreement (FTA) negotiation with the European Union (EU) will be a vital component to the Philippines’ trade policy agenda.

“The FTA will be an ideal platform to optimize the benefits of the large EU market and a permanent mechanism to fuel our economic relations,” Secretary Diokno added.

The country’s strategic objectives in engaging the EU in an FTA include securing additional duty-free market access, providing a conducive framework for attracting greater investments from the EU, and remaining at par with other ASEAN member states who are pursuing FTAs with the EU.

The 2023 European-Philippine Business Dialogue featured a series of high-level discussions on how the Philippines can maximize its competitive advantage as an investment destination and bring the country’s economy to new heights.
