Enhancing the Philippine Economy through Increased Global Value Chain Involvement

The Philippines stands poised to strengthen its economic recovery and resilience by intensifying its participation in global value chains (GVCs), particularly in sectors such as industrial, manufacturing, and transportation; technology, media, and telecommunications; and health and life sciences. Addressing challenges in these areas can significantly enhance the country’s economic competitiveness.

According to the World Bank’s new report, “A New Dawn for Global Value Chain Participation in the Philippines,” several global trends are favorably aligned with the Philippines’ potential success in GVCs. These trends include the growing integration of automation and artificial intelligence, the demand for higher labor skills due to the increasing role of services in manufacturing, and the diversification of suppliers by companies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

GVCs, which involve the collaborative international production and assembly of products across multiple countries, facilitate not just the trade of goods but also the exchange of expertise and collaboration. This process spurs growth and job creation within participating nations.

Ndiamé Diop, World Bank Country Director for Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand, highlights that deeper GVC integration can accelerate productivity and growth, allowing countries to fast-track their development. Countries engaging actively in GVCs can specialize in specific manufacturing and service tasks, export on a larger scale, and achieve faster growth, job creation, and poverty reduction.

The report outlines how the Philippines could increase its shares in electronics and electrical parts and components GVCs by drawing foreign investments in design capacity. This would enhance value addition and support the expansion of manufacturing within the country. The business process outsourcing (BPO) industry also has opportunities to ascend the value chain by offering more specialized services like analytics. The report suggests a three-pronged strategy for this:

  1. Strategic Reorientation: Encouraging key stakeholders to capitalize on opportunities arising from increased digitalization and automation, particularly in the electronics and BPO sectors.
  2. Bundling: Leveraging synergies across different sectors, diversifying into areas like electric vehicles and medical equipment, and enhancing the BPO sector with services like analytics and telemedicine.
  3. Sequencing: Progressing from BPO to Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO), integrating telecommunication clusters, developing the health and life sciences sectors with a focus on telehealth, and expanding the production of intermediate goods in electronics, automotive, and aerospace.

To fully benefit from these trends, the Philippines must address certain structural challenges, including limitations on foreign direct investment and a shortage of advanced skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Recent legislative amendments, such as the Foreign Investments Act and Retail Trade Liberalization Act, have been enacted to ease foreign investment restrictions and promote foreign participation in the economy. Effective implementation of these reforms is crucial for attracting investors and diversifying production locations in response to pandemic-related challenges.

The report also notes that due to fiscal limitations, partnerships with the private sector might be necessary to bridge infrastructure gaps, focusing on digital and physical connectivity and access to competitive and clean energy sources.

Finally, to enhance advanced skill sets in the Philippines, acceleration of the government’s innovation strategy is essential. The 2019 Philippine Innovation Act and its implementation rules, published in 2020, aim to bolster education, training, and research and development, potentially creating a dynamic, Silicon Valley-esque environment conducive to innovation and digitalization across various business sectors.
