PH-EFTA Services

From 2015 to 2019, Philippine service exports to EFTA member states Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland grew at a steady compound annual growth rate of 9%. During the five-year period, the Philippines was a net exporter of services.

In this episode, the National Economic Development Authority details the opportunities for Filipino service suppliers that opened up under the PH-EFTA free trade agreement. For example, skilled Filipino workers and professionals, particularly architects and engineers, can benefit from cross-border supply of services and movement of natural persons to EFTA member states.
