NONBANK FINANCIAL FIRMS’ domestic claims rose as of the third quarter of 2025 amid higher claims from depository firms, the central government, and other sectors, preliminary data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) showed.

- — Katherine K. Chan

Based on the BSP’s Other Financial Corporations Survey (OFCS), domestic claims of nonbanks reached P11.024 trillion at end-September, up 11.62% from P9.876 trillion a year prior. Quarter on quarter, this was up by 2.59% from P10.746 trillion at end-June.

“The year-on-year increase in total claims was driven by higher claims on depository corporations, the central government, and other resident sectors,” the BSP said in a statement.

The OFCS is an analytical survey that covers data on non-money market investment funds, other financial intermediaries, financial auxiliaries, captive financial institutions and money lenders, insurance corporations, and pension funds.
