Philippines still world’s no. 2 outsourcing hub
CALL centre and outsourcing industry in the Philippines grew by almost a fifth in 2009 to over US$7 billion (US$1 = RM3.44), an industry official said yesterday. The figures cement the country’s position as the world’s No. 2 call centre and outsourcing market after India, as estimated by analysts last year, said Gillian Virata, executive director for the Business Processing Association of the Philippines. The call centre sector alone made US$5 billion in revenues while back office services like accounting earned US$1.12 billion Virata said. | DEP eyes BIFF & BIL 2010 as springboard for Thai fashion industry to be more competitive and visible in global marketplace Asean, World Bank to scale up collaboration in key areas Asean exchanges appoint NYSE Technologies as solution provider ASEAN Nations uncertain of Free Trade Agreement with China Vietnam May Pick Sumitomo, Itochu for Bullet Train Cheaper Tickets China, Laos, Cambodia Links Philippines still world’s no. 2 outsourcing hub Philippine Department of Tourism optimistic about ASEAN ‘open skies’ deal Lao PDR expanding electricity access, boosting power exports
