Background

The economies of major Muslim-majority countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt and Bangladesh, together with Islamic finance and the halal industry, make up a large and fast-growing share of world trade.

What it means for the Philippines and the halal economy

The Philippines is building its own halal industry and trade links with Malaysia, Indonesia and the Gulf, so developments in these markets can open or close doors for Filipino producers and exporters.
