Finance Secretary Frederick Go convened a key meeting in Davao City to outline the Philippine government's plan for boosting Mindanao's economic growth. The session, part of the 2026 Philippine Economic Blueprint (PEB 2026), highlighted Mindanao's potential to drive national economic development. Officials emphasized infrastructure, tourism, and agriculture as key sectors for investment.
The meeting brought together local and national stakeholders to discuss strategies for improving connectivity and attracting foreign investment. Mindanao, home to the country's largest population, has long been a focal point for economic expansion. Go stressed the importance of regional collaboration to address challenges such as limited access to markets and outdated infrastructure.
Participants also reviewed progress on ongoing projects, including transportation upgrades and industrial zones. The goal is to position Mindanao as a central hub for trade and investment.
