The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has given a significant year-end boost to the Philippine economy through its investment promotion arm. On Thursday, December 26, 2025, the Board of Investments (BOI) announced its endorsement of 29 major investment projects with a combined value of P124.81 billion.
Major Sectors Set for Growth
These newly approved ventures are projected to create approximately 4,444 new jobs across the archipelago. The investments are strategically spread across high-impact industries crucial for national development. Key sectors benefiting include renewable energy (RE), infrastructure, and transport and logistics. Furthermore, the projects will bolster the information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) sector, alongside housing, manufacturing, and tourism-related developments.
DTI Secretary Cristina Roque emphasized that these endorsements underscore the agency's active role in stimulating the economy. She stated that the steady flow of investments demonstrates a relentless effort to transform capital into real opportunities for Filipino workers and their communities.
Sustaining Momentum into the New Year
Secretary Roque revealed that while the BOI's total approvals for the year have already reached an impressive P977 billion, the pipeline remains robust. Several other big-ticket investment proposals are currently undergoing final evaluation and due diligence. These are expected to further enhance the country's investment performance as 2025 concludes and the new year begins.
The DTI-BOI reiterated its unwavering commitment to ensuring that investment pledges result in tangible outcomes. The agency's focus remains on generating more employment, strengthening industrial sectors, and expanding opportunities for Filipinos. Through sustained reforms and proactive facilitation, the BOI continues to champion the "Make It Happen in the Philippines" campaign, driving a steady influx of strategic, high-impact investments into the country.
