“Fortune’s focus on the region demonstrates Southeast Asia’s escalating significance as a catalyst for global growth,” remarks Clay Chandler, Executive Editor, Asia. “The area has emerged as a vital manufacturing and export center, drawing substantial capital influxes. This momentum has been further enhanced by Trump-era tariffs, which have altered global trade dynamics and steered a shift towards Southeast Asia.”

In 2024, GT Capital reported total revenues of Php321.5 billion, marking a 5% rise year on year.

“Being positioned among the most esteemed businesses in the Southeast Asian landscape is a true affirmation of GT Capital’s dedication to excellence and our leadership in the sector. This validates the group’s robust fundamentals across various sectors, showcasing the hard work and commitment of our team, as well as the favorable progress of the Philippine economy,” Mr. Uy-Tioco further elaborated.
