The total exports recorded by the Department of Trade and Industry's (DTI) Export Marketing Bureau (EMB) have reached nearly $103.6 billion, with the information technology business process management (IT-BPM) and tourism sectors driving growth.
This was a 4.8 percent increase in goods and services exports from 2022, according to EMB Director Bianca Sykimte citing the data of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
In a statement on April 1, DTI Secretary Alfredo E. Pascual said the growth of the IT-BPM sector can be attributed to the agency’s continued partnerships with the IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP), the Animation Council of the Philippines (ACPI), the Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP), and the Healthcare Information Management Association of the Philippines (HIMAP).
