Despite the increase of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in ASEAN countries than China, there are still factors that hinder the growth of the region, says leading solutions provider, Genie Technologies, Inc (GenieTech).
Citing a data released by Thomson Reuters, GenieTech Chief Operating Officer Mahesh Gopinath said that the total inward FDI inflows in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines grew to a record high and exceeded US$200 billion last year. In the Philippines, the same growth is also seen, especially that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) noted that investors continue to view the country as a favorable investment destination. BSP also sees FDI inflows may reach up to US$10.20 billion in 2019.
