A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed by the DTI with G-Xchange Inc., which operates GCash, during the MSME Bayanihan Caravan 2025.

Through this partnership, the DTI and GCash will work together to make digital tools and financial services more accessible to MSMEs to help them grow, become more resilient and compete in the digital economy.

Trade Undersecretary Blesila Lantayona, who delivered Trade Secretary Cristina Roque's speech, said the partnership is an important milestone in supporting MSMEs, which comprise 99.5 percent of the country's businesses and employ 60 percent of the workforce.
