The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is looking to sustain the country's export momentum through continued support for exporters, particularly micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), according to a report by Philstar Biz .
The initiative comes amid global uncertainties and an evolving trade landscape that pose challenges to Philippine exports. DTI officials emphasized that MSMEs play a critical role in driving export growth and require targeted assistance to remain competitive abroad.
The agency's strategy includes capacity-building programs, market access facilitation, and financial support mechanisms designed to help small businesses navigate international trade requirements. By strengthening MSME participation, the DTI aims to maintain the positive trajectory of Philippine exports.
