Swedish envoy praises Philippine BPO industry
Swedish Ambassador to the Philippine Harald Fries has hailed the success of the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry in the Philippines, describing it as highly-advanced. During the reopening of the Swedish Embassy in the Philippines, Fries said that the BPO business in the Philippines is growing, with high-quality professionals. He added that IT professionals working in the country’s BPO sector are highly-skilled and that they should be able to find work in Sweden easily. The Swedish Embassy in the Philippines was shut down following the global financial crisis in 2008. Fries also announced that Sweden currently needs high-quality nurses to fill up the needs of the health industry in Sweden.
