Malacañang called for increased investment following the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Business Expectations Survey (BES), which revealed a higher confidence index (CI) for Q2 2025.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro highlighted the survey’s findings during a press briefing, noting the CI rose to 45.4% from 40.3% in Q4 2024.
“That’s good news. Maganda pong pangitain po iyan, maganda po na nakikita po na dumadami pa rin po ang may tiwala sa ating pamahalaan, sa ating administrasyon para ang mga investors po ay maglaan ng kanilang mga investment sa ating bansa,” said Castro.
The administration, she added, aims to maintain or improve this confidence to attract more investments.
The BSP report also indicated stable optimism for the next 12 months, with the CI holding steady at 56.4%, unchanged from Q4 2024 survey.IMT
