Transforming the Philippine Economy for a Prosperous, Resilient, and Inclusive Society
7-8 November 2023 | Novotel Manila Araneta City, Quezon City
Attaining sustainable economic growth and transformation has been the proverbial challenge for the Philippines for the last five decades. As we emerge from one crisis to another, hope springs eternal that the collective lessons and learnings we have accumulated will finally lead us to the path towards development and prosperity. However, as each crisis we face intensifies, more and more weaknesses and vulnerabilities are exposed, making it more difficult for the economy to recover and move forward.
The 2023 conference theme centers around the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023-2028. It encourages stakeholders to actively participate in the shared efforts to establish a prosperous, resilient, and inclusive society. The PES conference will highlight strategies that contribute to a transformed, dynamic, vibrant, and resilient Philippine economy. Distinguished speakers will address the perceived challenges faced by different sectors, the necessary structural transformations, and the crucial steps required to ensure the success of the PDP in today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.
