The Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) conducted a public seminar on October 16, 2019 at the PIDS Conference Hall.
The event featured three PIDS studies on trade and industry, namely, “Obstacles and Enablers of Internationalization of Philippines SMEs through Participation in Global Value Chains” by PIDS Consultants Dr. Jamil Paolo Francisco, Dr. Tristan Canare, and Ms. Jean Rebecca Labios, “Discovering the Philippines' Potential Export Portfolio through the Product Space: Some Products and Ways Forward” by PIDS Senior Research Fellows Dr. Connie Bayudan-Dacuycuy and Dr. Ramonette Serafica, and “Non-Tariff Measures in the Philippines” by PIDS Senior Research Fellow Dr. Francis Mark Quimba and Mr. Sylwyn Calizo Jr.
The first paper tackled the challenges and enablers of connecting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to global value chains (GVCs). The second paper provided an assessment of the sophistication content of the country’s current export portfolio and identified products that come from a more diversified and high-value added mix of export commodities. The third and last paper discussed how non-tariff measures correlate with Philippine imports and exports, and trade, in general.
