2025 Year-End Business Economics Briefing
The Business Economics Club of the UA&P School of Economics is pleased to invite you to the 2025 Year-End Business Economic Briefing on November 19 (Wednesday) at 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm at the PLDT Hall. This year's theme is “Rewiring Value Chains in the Digital Economy.”
This briefing examines how digital technologies are reshaping agribusiness and retail supply chains in the Philippines. By integrating farm-to-market systems with wholesale and retail e-commerce platforms, the convergence creates more efficient logistics, reduces costs, and broadens market access. Together, these shifts lay the groundwork for a more inclusive and competitive economy.
The program will feature discussions on (1) building a digital ecosystem in agribusiness and (2) retail & e-commerce as market multipliers.
Featured speakers include Department of Trade and Industry Undersecretary for Supply Chain and Logistics Group Mary Jean Pacheco and Mayani Co-Founder and CEO Mr. JT Solis. In addition, University Professor Emeritus Dr. Bernardo Villegas will share his expert insights, while UA&P senior economist Dr. Victor Abola will present updates on key macroeconomic indicators.
