No more electronics investments expected for remainder of 2025
Business World Philippines
|October 22, 2025
THE electronics industry said it does not expect any further investment in the remainder of the year, with potential entrants turning cautious due to possible fallout from the corruption scandal and US tariffs.
Ferdinand A. Ferrer, who chairs the Science and Technology Committee for the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), said the investment flows are done for the year.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the 51st Philippine Business Conference and Expo on Tuesday, Mr. Ferrer said: "The investments that are supposed to come in have already come. For the end of the year, we have very few that are coming in but we are looking forward to the first half of next year."
