Development goals and needs of the manufacturing, chemicals, and copper industries were unveiled on Tuesday, the first three of 30 industry roadmaps designed to bolster investments in the country and fuel the economy. “These roadmaps are expected to increase our capabilities and determine interventions that the government can provide,” Trade Secretary Gregory Domingo said at the Trade and Industry Development Updates. The industry plans were put forward for the government`s consideration. “Among the interventions that we are looking at include tailor-fitting incentives to fit closer to the roadmaps,” Domingo said. The manufacturing industry set a 12-year, three-phase plan, with the first stage rebuilding capacities of existing Philippine industries and strengthening emerging ones from 2014 to 2017.
