The Philippines is experiencing a transformative infrastructure drive, with over USD 26 billion allocated in 2025—exceeding 5% of its GDP. Key sectors include transportation, green energy and digital infrastructure, all critical for the nation’s long-term growth. In recent years, the country has made notable progress, yet challenges such as import dependency, inefficient supply chains and limited R&D remain. The government is addressing these through ambitious programmes like Build Better More, encouraging 100% foreign ownership and fostering strategic partnerships. For international investors, the opportunities are vast: Road, rail and airport development Electric vehicle and green transport infrastructure Seaport projects supporting renewable energy and export logistics Water and waste management solutions Digital infrastructure expansion to boost connectivity and innovation With supportive policies, incentives and a growing economy, now is the time for foreign firms to engage.
