MARAWI
CITY, Lanao del Sur, Jan. 16 (PIA) -- The Autonomous Region in Muslim
Mindanao (ARMM) is expecting to draw in more than P1 billion total
investments this year.
Ishak Mastura, chairman and
managing head of the Regional Board of Investments (RBOI) – ARMM, said
the increasing trend in investment in the region is attributable to the
favorable outcome of the peace process between the Philippine government
and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
Oil depot,
mining, biomass power generation, and agriculture related products such
as banana, oil palm products and buckwheat plantations are the major
investments expected to come into the region this 2015, mostly coming
from local business players.
Mastura said that peace and security is the first major reason why investors are encouraged to invest in ARMM.
“The
peace process sends the positive message that we are on the mend; that
we are on (our way) towards stability that will allow investments to be
sustained,” he said.
He also said that the good governance
manifested by the working government of ARMM is another reason why the
region ARMM became “investor-friendly.”
ARMM, according to him, is now proactive in marketing the region and catering to the needs of prospective investors.
Mastura
is optimistic that the transition to the new political entity will
serve as gateway to even more investors into the region in the years
ahead. (Bureau of Public Information-ARMM/APB/PIA-10)
