Building Stronger Partnerships: PHILGUARANTEE, KODIT explore collaborative opportunities for sustainable development during courtesy visit

Philippine Guarantee Corporation (PHILGUARANTEE) President and CEO Alberto Pascual, along with the management, welcomed representatives from the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT) during a courtesy visit at PHILGUARANTEE’s Headquarters in Makati City on April 8, 2025.

In his opening remarks, PCEO Pascual emphasized the importance of the visit in strengthening the partnership between the two organizations.

“Your visit today is an important step in building stronger ties between our organizations. We’re excited to discuss how we can work together towards shared goals of growth, innovation, and sustainable development. This exchange presents a valuable opportunity to explore how we can collaborate for the benefit of both our countries and the global community,” he said.

The meeting built on previous interactions between PHILGUARANTEE and KODIT, including Knowledge Sharing Webinars held in February 2023 and 2024. Additionally, both parties had met in past Asian Credit Supplementation Institution Confederation (ACSIC) conferences, where they discussed common interests and potential areas for cooperation. The April visit gave both organizations the chance to take those conversations further in person.

PCEO Pascual also expressed his interest in learning more about KODIT’s initiatives, especially in areas such as green finance, supporting startup growth, and driving digital transformation. He noted these efforts align closely with PHILGUARANTEE’s vision, which also focuses on promoting sustainable development and innovation.

During the visit, both PHILGUARANTEE and KODIT explored ways to deepen their collaboration, particularly in areas that could drive economic growth and support broader development objectives. PCEO Pascual reaffirmed PHILGUARANTEE’s commitment to working closely with KODIT to identify new opportunities for cooperation that would benefit both nations, as well as contribute to global financial advancements.
