Posibleng maliit lamang ang magiging epekto sa ekonomiya ng bansa ang patuloy ng giyera sa Israel.
Ito ang reaksyon ng founder ng Go Negosyo at miyembro ng Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)-Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise Development Council (MSMEDC) na si Joey Concepcion sa isinagawang Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon briefing nitong Huwebes, ayon sa Presidential Communications Office (PCO).
"Well, I think, we don't import much from Israel. It may have some influence on oil prices but we saw that earlier this year, the price of oil has also fallen -it's almost close to 100 dollars, now it has fallen to about 70 dollars in July, and then it's up now because of the conflict to about 89 to 90 dollars," ani Concepcion.

"So the volatility on oil (prices) will remain because of, you know, Israel and these places are also relatively close to the oil countries, but I am confident that the rest of the commodities, our prices are still almost the same," banggit nito.
Ikinatwiran pa ni Concepcion, hindi kabilang ang Israel sa pangunahing trading partners ng bansa.
"On top of that, our purchases are from the rest of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries and the United States. So, I think we should be fine and I’m very confident even if it does escalate, our (only problem will be) OFWs (overseas Filipino workers) will be stuck and will not be able to go home," pagdidiin ni Concepcion.
