Investment opportunities rising in the Philippines

The Philippines is gaining investor attention as structural reforms and policy continuity strengthen its long-term economic outlook. Australian investment manager Macquarie highlights several fundamental strengths that underpin the Philippines’ long-term investment appeal. These include robust economic growth and a domestic-oriented market that is relatively insulated from global shocks. The country benefits from low unemployment and an investment-friendly policy environment, helping to attract both local and foreign capital. Demographics are another key advantage: the population is young and digitally native, supporting future consumption and innovation. Urbanisation is also on the rise, reinforcing demand across sectors such as infrastructure, real estate, and services.

Trishia Simeon, Associate Director at Macquarie Asset Management, is convinced that investment opportunities in the Philippines will continue to grow in the future. “There’s a lot more focus on Southeast Asia among investors, especially as their understanding of the region grows. Over time, with the maturity of the market and investor interest, we believe even larger opportunities will emerge more frequently,” she says.
