BDO, Oxford Group renew partnership

MANILA, Philippines - BDO Unibank Inc. has renewed its partnership with the Oxford Business Group, a global publishing firm. The partnership would result in “The Report: The Philippines 2015” which will spotlight on the economic sectors that look likely to gain from higher investment inflows in the Philippines, such as manufacturing and information technology. The publication will also provide updates on the country’s major infrastructure projects, which are heightening economic activity, especially across the construction industry. BDO executive vice president and BDO Capital president Eduardo V. Francisco said topical issues related to the Asean Economic Community (AEC), such as the integration of the financial markets, would be looked at in detail with OBG. “Our first year of partnership with Oxford Business Group highlighted the added dimension that Asean integration will bring to the markets,” he said. “I look forward to exploring this further, as full integration draws nearer, and providing investors with key data they can use in their decision-making, including analysis of new products and services from the Philippine Stock Exchange.”
