EastWest hosts economic briefing in Bacolod

As part of its commitment to empowering stakeholders with valuable and up-to-date economic insights, and in line with its local engagement initiatives, EastWest recently hosted an exclusive Q4 economic briefing in Bacolod City during the vibrant MassKara Festival, a press release from the company said.

The event gathered industry leaders, business executives, and media representatives to discuss the latest economic trends, particularly focusing on the Philippines while also providing a global economic outlook.

EastWest’s Chief Investment Officer, Bede Gomez, delivered the keynote presentation, delving into the global economic landscape and how international events are shaping the Philippines’ economic trajectory. His presentation covered the impact of fluctuating interest rates, inflation patterns, and ongoing foreign exchange movements.

 “The current economic trends point to a positive outlook for the Philippine economy, with inflation moving downward and interest rates stabilizing,” said Gomez. “This environment presents a unique opportunity for investors to explore riskier assets such as equities, REITs, and long-term bonds. At EastWest, we believe that with the right financial strategies, we can help our clients capitalize on these favorable conditions and continue building towards a prosperous future.”

FURTHER ACROSS THE COUNTRY

The Bacolod leg of the briefing is part of EastWest Bank’s broader efforts to support major local events like the MassKara Festival. As the bank continues its efforts to engage regional markets, Bacolod stands out as a strategic location for further expanding its footprint in the Visayas region.

“This Q4 economic briefing in Bacolod, timed perfectly with the MassKara Festival, is part of EastWest’s local initiatives. We are committed to bringing these timely discussions to different regions, ensuring that our clients and stakeholders nationwide have the insights needed to make informed financial decisions,” said Ivy Uy, Executive Vice President and Head of Branch Banking Group at EastWest Bank.

In addition to the Bacolod event, EastWest also held a similar economic briefing in Metro Manila. While the Bacolod session Wednesday focused on global economic trends, the NCR leg explored real estate market growth and investment opportunities. The event offered valuable insights into how the current economic environment is shaping real estate investments and development in different parts of the country.

LOOKING AHEAD

As EastWest celebrates its 30th Anniversary, the bank remains committed to going “Further for You” by cultivating meaningful discussions on the economy and providing platforms that support sound financial decision-making. Through initiatives like the economic briefing series, the bank strengthens its relationships with clients and partners while empowering them with timely and relevant information.*
