Foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Philippines yielded positive results in the first half of 2025 but the net inflows dropped by 23.8 percent to $3.4 billion from $4.5 billion a year earlier, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said on Wednesday.
In June alone, net inflows fell by 17.8 percent to $376 million, from $457 million in June last year as nonresidents’ net equity capital reversed to $57 million outflows from $85 million inflows, BSP data showed.
The decline was cushioned by a 36.7 percent increase in reinvested earnings to $128 million and a 9.3 percent rise in investment in debt instruments to $305 million, the BSP said.
