Under the leadership of Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., the Philippines is reinforcing its appeal to both domestic and foreign investors by bolstering reforms and promoting a clearer business roadmap. The country’s investment climate is being reshaped through legislation such as the Public Service Act, Foreign Investments Act, Retail Trade Liberalization Act and the Renewable Energy Act — reforms aimed at opening more sectors to investment and strengthening institutional frameworks.
Investment approval figures have seen significant growth: between mid-2022 and April 2025, total approved investments through the Board of Investments reached ₱3.54 trillion, a 70 % increase compared to the previous term.
President Marcos has also emphasized the strategic role of the Philippines in the Indo-Pacific economic landscape, urging investors to seize current opportunities while noting enhanced infrastructure and digital connectivity as part of the value proposition.
