Up Close & Personal with Finance Secretary Frederick Go

Some of the biggest decisions business owners make—whether to expand, invest, hire, or keep capital in reserve—are influenced by where government priorities and the broader economy are heading.

On January 27, Finance Secretary Frederick D. Go sits down with EO Philippines for a private, non-partisan conversation built around the business questions that matter to entrepreneurs.

Instead of interpreting policy through headlines and second-hand commentary, this session gives members an opportunity to hear directly from the country’s Finance Secretary and better understand how fiscal policy, investment priorities, and the economic landscape could affect the businesses we run.

What You’ll Walk Out With

A clearer understanding of how national economic and investment priorities could affect your business decisions

A sense of which economic signals are worth watching before making your next major investment

Context you can bring back to your Forum and leadership team when discussing expansion, hiring, or capital deployment

An opportunity to raise your own business questions during the conversation
