Philippines: Napoleon Co, the president of the Philippine Cement Importers Association (PCIA), says that the introduction of tariffs on cement imports may lead to higher prices. He said that if new tariffs were started some importers would cease operating, according to the Manila Standard newspaper. He then argued that local producers might raise their prices to match the higher cost of imported cement. Co made the comment in response to an on-going investigation into tariffs being run by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). Several importers allegedly stopped imported cement after the DTI launched the investigation in September 2018.
