P1.12T in investments seen for rest of 2025

MANILA, Philippines – The Board of Investments (BOI) on Saturday said it expects to process at least P1.12 trillion worth of investment projects over the second half of this year.

This signals sustained investor confidence in the Philippines as a hub for smart and sustainable industries.

The BOI said the total includes around P290 billion from 65 projects currently undergoing check listing.

There is also an additional P832 billion from three major undertakings. These are still completing documentation requirements for registration.

“We are now entering a crucial implementation phase where many of our previously approved investments are being realized on the ground,” Trade Secretary and BOI Chair Cristina Roque said in a statement.

“At the same time, we are working hard to sustain momentum by pushing a new wave of projects toward registration, ensuring that today’s pipeline becomes tomorrow’s operational infrastructure, jobs, and innovation,” she added. Among the 65 check-listed projects, 12 have been tagged as strategic and green lane-certified.

The projects’ cost total at P116.81 billion. These are covered under Executive Order No. 18, which streamlines procedures for investments considered high-priority or nationally significant.

The pipeline also spans several priority sectors identified by the government.

These include renewable energy, information technology and business process management, manufacturing, logistics, food security, mass housing and infrastructure. Once registered, the BOI said these projects are expected to generate at least 4,278 jobs nationwide. To accelerate interest and conversion, the BOI said it has intensified its promotional campaign.
