Business World Philippines
|December 05, 2025
SECURITIES and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Francisco Ed. Lim said he considers stable regulation, continuity of operations, and upholding ESG (environmental, social, and governance) standards to hold the key to closing the Philippines’ investment deficit relative to its ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) neighbors.

Speaking at the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines’ Philippine Economic Outlook conference on Thursday, Mr. Lim said foreign investors are no longer just chasing lower costs.
‘As such, the Philippines could face serious problems in 2026 if it fails to rebuild investor confidence in the market, he said.
“Integrity for us is the invisible currency of investor confidence. Without it, businesses will not commit capital, and markets simply will not grow,” Mr. Lim said during a fireside chat at the conference.
