The country, which not coincidentally falls within the so-called Next Eleven, or the eleven emerging markets identified by Goldman Sachs as having the highest growth potential, could become the largest economy in Southeast Asia by 2050 and the 14th largest globally by the same year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With a population of about 104 million (the second largest market in terms of population in ASEAN, after Indonesia), some political stability, the implementation of major reforms by the government, and a robust economy, the Philippines has been on an important growth path for some years now: in 2012 GDP grew by a little over 6% and in 2013 it is expected to remain stable and reach 6.2%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The high propensity of the local population to consume (domestic consumption accounts for 70% of the national GDP) is a formidable growth driver for the Asian country to continue on this path; in addition, the Philippines is highly dependent on imports, as it is not yet able to rely on a developed industry and first-rate technological capacity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The business opportunities are enormous and are registered in a wide variety of sectors: construction materials, electronics, renewable energy, food processing machinery, information technology, telecommunications, tourism, apparel, agribusiness, franchising, residential construction, business processing outsourcing services represent just a few of the potentially explosive sectors for made-in-Italy companies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Manlio Urbano<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO READ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/octagona.com\/en\/the-success-of-italian-companies-in-india\/\">The success of Italian companies in India<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/octagona.com\/en\/internationalize-own-foreign-business-strategic-choice-or-opportunity\/\">Internationalizing your business abroad: strategic choice or opportunity?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/octagona.com\/en\/digital-export-manager-dem-linter-internationalization-in-a-digital-environment\/\">Digital export manager (DEM): internationalization in a digital context<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tra i Paesi dell\u2019ASEAN, le Filippine sono in forte ascesa, assieme a Thailandia, Indonesia e Vietnam, e si configurano tra quelli che offrono le pi\u00f9 interessanti opportunit\u00e0 alle aziende italiane in una ottica di internazionalizzazione.
