Strengthening Partnerships: ANZCHAM’s 2025 Business Outlook and Figari’s Role in Empowering Growth
November 14, 2024 – The Australian and New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines (ANZCHAM) capped off the year with its Final Monthly Members Meeting (MMM) at the Isabela Function Hall, Shangri-La Makati. The event highlighted opportunities, challenges, and strategies for 2025, while fostering collaboration within the Australian-New Zealand-Philippine business community. Representing Figari at the event was a strong delegation led by its leadership team, reinforcing Figari’s commitment to building innovative workspaces that drive business success.
A Collaborative Vision for 2025
The evening’s keynote speaker, Her Excellency Hae Kyung Yu, Australian Ambassador to the Philippines, offered a compelling overview of “Invested: Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040.” She emphasized the Philippines as a priority market within this plan, pointing out untapped opportunities for Australian businesses to invest in the country’s growing economy. The outbound mission organized by ANZCHAM earlier this year underscored this vision, showcasing the Philippines’ capabilities, talents, and potential to Australian stakeholders.
H.E. Yu’s remarks were complemented by a panel discussion featuring Dante Tinga Jr., Senior Vice President of BDO Unibank, and Benjamin Romualdez, ANZCHAM President and Managing Director of Telstra Philippines. Together, they explored actionable insights into how businesses can navigate the evolving landscape, ensuring both resilience and growth in the coming year.
