PEZA expects more ecozone proclamations early next year

THE Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) said it is expecting additional economic zones (ecozones) to be proclaimed by January, and is targeting 30 new ecozones next year.

PEZA had in October given an estimate of 14 proclamations by year’s end, but now sees the approvals to start coming next month.

“We wrote a follow-up letter to the Executive Secretary (ES). Developers have been meeting with the ES. They were told that by January, there’s going to be another release of newly proclaimed eco-zones,” PEZA Director-General Tereso O. Panga said on the sidelines of the agency’s 30th anniversary event last week.

Mr. Panga said PEZA is also targeting 30 new ecozones in 2026.

Since 2022, 35 new and expanded ecozones have been proclaimed, according to PEZA.

“Most of them (are) strategically located in the countryside to promote regional development. And we have more in the pipeline, including new public economic zones in the Bicol region and in Palawan,” Mr. Panga said at the event.

The Office of the President issues proclamations that designate specific sites as special economic zones, upon the recommendation of PEZA.

Mr. Panga said PEZA is trying to locate ecozones in new areas. “They can only attract investment when there are new locations for development. We’re trying to locate in new growth areas,” he said. — Vonn Andrei E. Villamiel

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
