World Bank to PH: Hike investment in internet infrastructure

The World Bank called on the Philippines to increase its investment in broadband infrastructure as the country continues to lag behind other Asian countries when it comes to internet speed, reach, and affordability.

In its 2024 report, "Better Internet for All Filipinos: Reforms Promoting Competition and Increasing Investment for Broadband Infrastructure," the World Bank said that the Philippines has the slowest and most expensive internet in Southeast Asia.
