MANILA, July 10 (Xinhua) -- Foreign direct investment (FDI) net inflows into the Philippines rose by 7.1 percent year-on-year in April 2025, reaching 610 million U.S. dollars, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said Thursday.
The BSP said the increase was driven primarily by a 24.3 percent rise in nonresidents' net investments in debt instruments, which grew from 420 million dollars in April 2024 to 522 million dollars this year. Reinvestment of earnings also saw a modest increase of 3.3 percent, reaching 84 million dollars.
Net equity capital investments, excluding reinvested earnings, plunged 94.1 percent to just 4 million dollars, down from 68 million dollars a year earlier, the BSP added.
Equity capital placements during the month came mainly from Japan, the United States, Singapore, and South Korea, with sectors receiving investments including manufacturing, financial and insurance, and real estate.
For the January to April 2025 period, FDI net inflows fell by 33.4 percent to 2.4 billion dollars, compared to 3.6 billion dollars in the same period in 2024.
