The Board of Investments (BOI) apprised RTWPB- NCR on the current state of investments in the country given the threats of COVID.   In its Board Meeting last August 26, 2020, BOI Executive Director Ma. Corazon Halili-Dichosa said that prior to the pandemic the Philippine economy has been growing at a rate of more than 6% in the last 6 years.

However, beginning the first quarter of 2020, economic performance started to decline due to the pandemic. In order to address such concerns, BOI have initiated Rebuild Ph Program which stands for Revitalizing Businesses, Investments, Livelihood and Domestic Demands.
