Improving the Investment Climate in the Philippines
Asian Development Bank | June 2005
Abstract
This study examines the factors and policies that make up the investment climate and productivity in the Philippines in three dimensions – at the macro level, at the regional level by comparing the Philippines’ performance with neighboring countries and by probing, at the micro level, the stumbling blocks and constraints to private investment and productivity growth. This paper also includes general recommendations on what specific areas/measures need reform to improve competitiveness; and what would be the effect of easing the investment constraints on firm productivity and growth.
