Philippines Can Benefit From Supply-Chain Disruption: Diokno

Philippine central bank Governor Benjamin Diokno said the nation can benefit from disruption to global supply chains and called on the government to do more to attract foreign investors.

The Philippines, which is primarily linked to global networks through electronics and machinery exports, has an opportunity as the coronoavirus pandemic prompts countries to redirect trade and relocate production, Diokno said in a statement on Saturday.
