Yesterday, ING Philippines hosted its annual briefing, bringing together corporate leaders to explore the key drivers shaping 2025. The event centred on three transformative themes: Trade, Tariffs, and Technology—forces that are set to reshape markets and redefine economic trajectories in the coming year. We were honoured to have an exceptional panel of speakers, including Finance Undersecretary Domini Velasquez, who highlighted the Philippines’ opportunities in AI and economic risk mitigation; Deepali Bhargava, ING Asia Pacific’s chief economist, who addressed global risks and their impact on growth; and Peter Noordzij, head of Wholesale Banking Technology at ING Hubs Philippines, who shared ING’s strategic approach to leveraging technology for transformation. Despite global headwinds, the Philippines is poised for robust growth, with GDP projected to expand by 6.1% in 2025. Strong labour markets, strategic reforms, and favourable monetary policy are expected to drive domestic consumption and investment. As we navigate the complexities of trade, tariffs, and technology, ING remains committed to empowering Filipino businesses to thrive in this dynamic landscape. #INGPhilippines #INGAPAC #INGDifference
