ASEAN hosting seen to boost investments
Manila Bulletin
|January 1, 2026
The Philippines could see more investments pour in as a result of hosting the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit and related meetings in 2026, according to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
Trade Secretary Cristina Roque said the country could unlock more investments in the coming year, particularly from regional peers expected to participate in ASEAN meetings.
While she did not provide an actual investment target for 2026, Roque said the government always aims to outperform the previous year.
From January to September 2025, investments registered with the country's investment promotion agencies (IPAs) reached P824.7 billion, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). This is down 47.8 percent from P1.58 trillion in the same period in 2024.
To attract more investments next year, Roque said the government will focus on business matching as its main strategy.
