ECCP: PH entering 'golden age' of investments The Philippines is entering the “golden age” of investments from Europe as the country remains an attractive destination for European businesses. This, as the government implemented policy reforms such as the amendments to the Foreign Investments Act, Public Service Act, and Retail Trade and Liberalization Act, as well as allowing full foreign ownership for renewable energy projects.
