Economic opportunities, disruptions to take center stage at Forecast 2026

Business World Philippines

|

November 24, 2025

THE PHILIPPINE ECONOMY is heading into 2026 with a cautious outlook as the government pushes reforms to unlock long-term growth, even as global demand slows, debt rises and corruption scandals threaten its ambitions.

The outlook for 2026 will be at the center of discussion at the BusinessWorld Forecast 2026, to be held on Tuesday (Nov. 25) at the Grand Ballroom of the Grand Hyatt Manila in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

With the theme "Seizing New Growth Opportunities Amid Disruptions," the forum will bring together policymakers, economists, top executives and business leaders from the country's biggest companies.

Hosted by journalist and academic Dr. Danie Laurel, the event will serve as a platform for thought leaders to share insights on navigating economic headwinds, rebuilding investor confidence, and identifying strategies to drive sustainable and inclusive growth for the Philippines in the year ahead.

SM Investments Corp. Chairman and Independent Director of the Board Amando M. Tetangco, Jr. will deliver the keynote address, where he will talk about growth opportunities and risks that may persist in the coming year.

The first panel discussion, "The Macro-Economic Compass: Charting the Path Amid Global Headwinds," will examine how the Philippines can maintain stability and growth amid a volatile global environment marked by geopolitical tensions, climate shocks, and technological disruptions.

The panel features Finance Assistant Secretary Neil Adrian S. Cabiles, BDO Capital & Investment Corp. President Eduardo V. Francisco, Asian Development Bank Country Director Andrew Jeffries, and Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co. Chief Economist and Markets Strategist Nicholas Antonio T. Mapa. It will be moderated by Business World Editor-in-Chief Cathy Rose A. Garcia.
