Manila Bulletin
|December 18, 2025
Philippine banks' exposure to the property sector eased slightly in the third quarter as lenders maintained a cautious stance despite signs of recovery in Metro Manila's condominium market.
According to the latest data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), real estate exposure for banks and their trust units settled at 19.54 percent of the industry's total loan book as of end-September, a marginal decline from 19.55 percent a year earlier and 19.61 percent in the second quarter.
As of September, total real estate loans grew 9.2 percent to ₱3.1 trillion from ₱2.84 trillion in the same period last year, and rose 2.3 percent from the previous quarter. However, real estate investments dropped 5.8 percent to ₱354.7 billion.
