PHILIPPINES: RIDING THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION
With a population of 110 million at an average age of 23, the Philippines is well endowed with a young, digitally savvy population. The average Filipino spends more than 10 hours a day online, more than any other country.
It is no wonder that the Philippines is going through a radical digital transformation. The pandemic has fast-tracked digitalisation in the economy, which was growing strongly for 21 consecutive years prior to 2020.
The Philippines’ internet economy is expected to grow by 30 percent annually to reach US$ 28 billion by 2025.
Now is the time to look at the Philippines
• Major economic reforms to boost competitiveness have been legislated, including relaxing restrictions on foreign investment.
• The Philippine government is working to upgrade communications infrastructure for greater connectivity.
• The country’s U$30 billion annual remittance from Filipinos working overseas and the business process outsource industry provide significant opportunities for digitalisation.
• Digital technologies are being adopted through the National ID roll-out, National Broadband and Cybersecurity plans and Cloud First Policy Through the National ID roll-out, National Broadband and Cybersecurity plans and Cloud First Policy.
