ILALATAG ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ang panukalang Sovereign Wealth Fund sa pagbisita nito sa Davos, Switzerland sa susunod na linggo.
Sinabi ni Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Carlos Sorreta, kabilang ang wealth fund sa tatalakayin ng Pangulo sa World Economic Forum (WEF) na nakatakda mula Enero 16 hanggang 20.
“It’s really more of a soft launch, to introduce it,” ani Sorreta sa press briefing.
“I understand it is evolving, we have the fullest respect for the Congressional process, and the open hearings that they’re having, and how to work out the details but the broad strokes with the President have a very, very good grasp of what he wants to achieve, whatever form the Sovereign Wealth Fund finally takes. What’s very important is it’s an investment in the future, and there’s great confidence the President has in the ability, and capabilities of Filipino entrepreneurs, and local investors even,” aniya pa rin.
Sa kabilang dako, sinabi naman ni Malacañang press briefer Daphne Oseña-Paez na sa nasabing miting, pinaalalahanan ng Pangulo lahat na ang World Economic Forum ay isang economic forum.
“So, it’s the time for the Philippines since we’re at the world stage to let them know what our country is doing in terms of being ready, and attractive for investments, and that’s what was discussed this morning,” ayon pa rito. (CHRISTIAN DALE)
