DBP president and CEO Michael de Jesus said the bank would return to the debt market toward the end of the year as part of its fundraising activities.
"We haven't decided yet whether it's going to be plain vanilla or tier 2. It's peso denominated because our natural use of proceeds is peso loans," De Jesus told reporters.
De Jesus said the approved fundraising for the year is around P45 billion.
An initial P8.75 billion has already been raised in February, which leaves the bank with about P36.25 billion that I can still be borrowed.
"We tend to issue the balance (by yearend) depending on market conditions," De Jesus said.
