Philippines – Best BPO performance, WB
June 30, 2011 | Leave a Comment
The Philippines emerges among the best performers in services exports, particularly in business process outsourcing, due to its rich human capital and good telecommunications infrastructure.
The Philippines is currently the third largest player in business process outsourcing (BPO) in the world, accounting for 15 percent of the global BPO market, after India (37 percent) and Canada (27 percent).
“That’s a tremendous achievement in just over a decade. The liberalization of the Philippine telecommunications sector in the early 90s improved the quality and efficiency of telecommunications infrastructure through greater competition.
That’s a very important factor for the success of the industry. But the bigger story is really the rich human capital that the country possesses and which it has to continue to nurture.”
— Bert Hofman, World Bank (WB) Country manager.
