NET foreign direct investments (FDI) markedly fell in August, data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) showed on Monday, as companies abroad drastically reduced transactions with local units. At $494 million, net inflows plummeted by 40.5 percent from $830 million a year earlier. It was also 61.0 percent lower than the $1.3 billion recorded in July. Year to date, net FDI inflows dropped by 22.5 percent to $5.2 billion from the $6.7 billion posted in January to August 2024. The August result — the third consecutive monthly decline — worsened from the previous month’s 7.5-percent drop but was not as bad as the -56.2 percent recorded in February. Monthly levels have been positive only twice this year, in April and May.   https://www.manilatimes.net/2025/11/11/business/top-business/fdi-slump-continues/2220373 (ICE SINGAPORE)
