Americans to invest here due to crisis, says US ambassador
Sunday, 30 March 2008
The Manila Times - March 10, 2008
By Likha C. Cuevas-Miel, Reporter
 
AMID the slowdown in the world’s largest economy, more American firms are investing here to take advantage of local growth prospects, according to the US ambassador to the Philippines.
 
Amb. Kristie Kenney told reporters during a visit to the Philippine Stock Exchange last Friday that the US slowdown has fueled investment interest in the Philippines. Many
American firms may continue to do business here if the government would continue its economic reforms, she said.
 
“It’s a difficult time [in the US] as you know. There are certain issues that need to be addressed and Congress has passed an important stimulus package which I think will
allow for things to turn around. And I think for countries like the Philippines [it is important] to keep moving with your economic performance. It’s a global world but there is
a lot of competition for where to invest or where to go. The Philippines has a strong economic growth last year and you want to keep focusing on the things that happen to attract investors,” she said.

Philippines emerging as top choice for outsourcing
Sunday, 30 March 2008
MANILA, Philippines -- The Philippines is giving India a run for its money in the booming call center industry, according to the latest Asian Contact Center Benchmarking Report.
Callcenters.net president Catriona Wallace said in a news briefing Friday that call center seats in the Philippines would increase 23.4 percent this year from the present 129,000, which would make the Philippine industry the fastest-growing in countries covered by the report.

India’s 500,000-strong contact center sector grows at an average of 10 percent a year, Malaysia’s 33,000 by 17 percent, Thailand’s 28,000 by 15 percent, and Singapore’s 20,500 by eight percent, Wallace said. “We noted that there is a shift to the Philippines from India as the top-of-mind choice for outsourced services,especially in customer-related work,” she said.
