BOI-approved investments down 48% in 11 months
The Philippine Star
|December 09, 2025
The value of investments approved by the government's lead investment promotions agency slid dramatically from January to November, amid fallout from the flood control scandal and broader uncertainty that weighed on business confidence.
Data from the Board of Investments (BOI) released yesterday showed that approved investments reached P816.81 billion over the 11-month period, down by 48.4 percent from the P1.58 trillion recorded in the same period last year.
This is in sharp contrast to the 44-percent jump in approvals recorded over the same period in 2024, highlighting the dramatic slowdown in this year's investment pace.
Despite this, Trade Secretary and BOI chair Cristina Roque expressed optimism about the pipeline of investments, saying the approvals still signal continued investor confidence.
