Net inflows of foreign direct investments fell by 46% in Jan

MANILA  -The net inflows of foreign direct investments (FDI)  to the Philippines fell by 46 percent in January to $448 million from $824 million in the same month last year.

In a statement, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said the decline in January was due to the decrease in non-residents’ net investments in debt instruments and equity capital.

Meanwhile, non-residents’ reinvestment of earnings increased slightly.

“FDI net inflows declined during the month amid global economic uncertainties and high inflation, which continued to weigh on investor decisions,” the BSP said.
