Roxas told the subcomittee on finance headed by Sen. Robert Jaworski that there has been robust growth in Philippine exports since the DTI started diversifying the country’s geographic market, to fill up the slack in the traditional markets like the United States and Japan.

                    [Summary] => Foreign direct investments took a 38.65-percent plunge in 2001 in the wake of a weakening global economy.


Data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) showed that foreign direct equity investments for the whole year dropped by $540.4 million from $1.398 billion in 2000 to only $857.8 million despite the considerable increase in direct investments coming from Japan.


According to the BSP, the decade-long economic recession in Japan actually benefited the Philippines as Japanese investors moved out of their country to avoid rising costs.
