Chinese steel manufacturer Panhua Group Co. Ltd. is investing P9 billion in an export venture at the Subic Bay Freeport in Zambales, the state-run Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority said Monday.

SBMA said in a statement that the proposed project at Subic Bay, which was approved by the agency’s board of directors last February, will allow Panhua to export 42,000 metric tons of steel coils and metal sheets starting the first quarter of 2016.

SBMA chair Roberto V. Garcia noted that the entry of the Chinese manufacturer in Subic attested to the growing attractiveness of the country to foreign investments.
