Economic managers of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will be spending the rest of January in chilly Europe in a bid to entice investors to put their money in the Philippines.
Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno and his colleagues in the economic team are now in Frankfurt, Germany, two days after the World Economic Forum wrapped up in Davos, Switzerland.
After Germany, Diokno and other economic managers will head to London—with the Philippine government picking up the tab, of course.
Diokno and his group are scheduled to hold another economic briefing aimed at European investors on January 26, Manila time.
Joining Diokno are his former chief-of-staff now Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Felipe Medalla and National Economic and Development Authority Secretary Arsenio Balisacan.
The economic briefings are mounted in partnership with global banks HSBC, UBS, Deutsche Bank, and Morgan Stanley.
