THE Philippines’ Asean 2026 chairmanship presents a great opportunity not just for local exporters but also for overall economic growth, an industry leader said Wednesday at the Manila Times Economic Outlook Forum. “The Philippines can push for faster implementation of Asean trade facilitation measures, stronger MSME (micro, small and medium enterprises) participation in regional trade, practical cooperation on supply chain resilience, and clearer pathways for digital and green exports,” Philippine Exporters Confederation (Philexport) President Sergio Ortiz-Luis Jr. said during his speech at the forum.   https://www.manilatimes.net/2026/02/20/business/top-business/ph-asean-chairship-to-boost-exports/2281337 (ICE SINGAPORE)
