Security Bank Corp. held its second economic forum for 2019 at the Edsa Shangri-La Manila in Mandaluyong City, highlighting the ‘Build, Build, Build’ program of the government and its impact on various businesses nationwide.
Security Bank sees ‘Build, Build, Build’ as a boon for the national economy because of the expected improvement in connectivity between key investment hubs across the country.
“We are in the middle of an economic milestone that will benefit the Philippines in the medium and long run. With 28 big-ticket projects expected to be completed by 2022, truly, the country is at the cusp of the golden age of an infrastructure boom. This economic forum will hopefully help our clients determine how their companies can capitalize on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Security Bank president and chief executive Alfonso Salcedo Jr.
Political and economic factors are intertwined prompting an expanded agenda in Security Bank’s Economic Forum. “We have revised our economic forum to make it more interesting and relevant to its participants. We deem it important to include political developments and risks as necessary in helping the participants in the forum to make informed business decisions,” Salcedo said.
