Aurora ecozone hoping to bring in US defense-logistics locator within the quarter

THE Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (APECO) said it hopes to bring in a key US defense-logistics locator within the first quarter following a key meeting scheduled soon in the US.

“I really want more defense manufacturing in APECO. That’s why we’re going back to Washington, DC and Virginia,” APECO President Gil G. Taway IV told reporters in a briefing.

The meeting in the DC area will involve Anglicotech LLC, which optimizes supply chains for defense-industry contractors.

APECO first met with defense-focused companies in the US through an Economic and Security Forum in 2024, during which it met around 30 companies.

“That is where we met Anglicotech. So we want to go back to Virginia and Washington so we can talk with them again,” he said.

“We are actually planning an anchor event in Washington, DC, and Virginia where we will gather defense companies big and small,” he added.

“In March, we are also planning to go to… Los Angeles kasi gusto namin ligawan ’yong mga nasa Burbank, ’yong mga film studios (we would like to pitch to the Hollywood movie companies in Burbank),” he said.

“We are also going to Texas for follow-up discussions,” he added.

According to Mr. Taway, APECO is hoping to benefit from a government initiative to make the Philippines more self-reliant on defense.

“The demand is basically (stemming from) our SRDP, or Self-Reliant Defense Posture. And I think Anglicotech also sees other markets that they can supply to in Asia and even Europe,” he added.

APECO is also meeting with retirement companies in Japan, including Long Life Corp., which specializes in retirement communities. — Justine Irish D. Tabile

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
