|June 12, 2025
Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into the Philippines dropped for the fifth consecutive month in March, reflecting sustained investor caution amid global and domestic economic uncertainties.
-
Data released by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) yesterday showed that net FDI inflows reached $498 million in March, a 27.8-percent decline from the $689 million posted in the same month last year.
This was the lowest monthly inflow since the $110 million in December 2024.
The March figure brought the first-quarter FDI tally to $1.76 billion, 41.1 percent lower than the $3 billion recorded in the first three months last year.
