Indeed, in 2021 and 2022, the EU stood out as one of our most important foreign investment partners, with total investments reaching around 836 million euros ,” he added. The EU is also the Philippines’ fourth largest trading partner by regional bloc, with trade in goods between the two totaling €15.2 billion in 2021, according to the European Commission.
