Lecture Seminar on OECD Economic Survey of the Philippines
Date: February 13, 2026 (Friday)
Venue: Philippe Jones Lhuillier Conference Room, 14/F, HSSH Building
The DLSU – Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies successfully hosted the Lecture Seminar on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Economic Survey of the Philippines, titled:
“Driving Growth and Stability: OECD Perspectives on the Philippine Economy.”
We were honored to welcome Dr. Cyrille Schwellnus, Senior Economist at the OECD Economics Department, and Dr. Jens Arnold, Head of Division, Country Studies, who shared key insights from the Philippines’ first inclusion in the OECD Economic Survey series.
The discussion highlighted the country’s strong post-pandemic recovery, continued commitment to macroeconomic stability, and the structural reforms needed to sustain productivity growth, expand formal employment, and strengthen climate resilience.
This milestone reinforces the Philippines’ growing role in the global economy and strengthens its position as a preferred investment destination.
We thank our colleagues from government, international institutions, academe, and the private sector for joining us in this substantive dialogue on growth, stability, and forward-looking reform.
