MANILA, Philippines - The recently concluded 40th Philippine Business Conference and Expo held at the Manila Hotel, was supported by the Philippine Business Bank – the financial arm of the Yao Group of Companies.
With this year’s theme: “Proudly Pinoy: Partnering Towards Sustained Growth”, the event laid down the roadmap that will strategically position Philippine industries and enterprises to seize the global market as it moves towards the ASEAN integration.
PCCI president, Alfredo M. Yao said: “PCCI is dedicated to serving the business community and providing education and support services to further evolve local industries and enterprises – particularly small-and medium-size enterprises – into globally competitive ventures. PCCI has focused its strategies to create synergies among government, local businesses led by the chambers and development stakeholders.”
PBB takes part in that same strategy – support for the financing of projects implemented for SMEs which is the key policy objective of the bank, as the SME sector represents the engine of growth and innovation, Yao said.
PBB is making a difference by widening its presence across the country. Operating 110 branches will help the bank reach more people and more business partners, as PBB continues to go where the small and medium enterprises thrive, he added.
Meanwhile, PBB is opening today new branches in Balanga, Bataan and Taytay, Rizal.
