They arranged a session entitled “Rebooting the Post-Pandemic Economy: Cushioning the Long Emergency” that allows the conference to be vulnerable with a discussion on the economic outlook of the country. The session saw a panel of economic and political experts focus on growing economic pessimism and contraction and the need for reform to attract sustainable investments that create employment, increase social security and provide stable governance in the country.
Aside from that, a Professor names. Dindo Manhit which is the President of the Stratbase ADR Institute, shared this call for policy change, saying,the Philippines may not even go back to its pre-pandemic normal.
