MANILA, March 31 (Xinhua) -- The Philippines' international investment position (IIP), which provides a snapshot of the value of foreign financial assets and liabilities at a given point in time, posted a lower net external liability of 50.8 billion U.S. dollars as of end-December 2025, the Philippine central bank said Tuesday.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said the latest IIP marks a 2.5 percent decline from 52.1 billion dollars at the end of September 2025. The lower net liability position reflected a faster growth in external assets relative to the increase in external liabilities.
As of the end of December 2025, the Philippines' investment in foreign assets rose by 1 percent to 264.1 billion dollars, and foreign investments in Philippine assets increased by 0.4 percent to 314.9 billion dollars, according to the BSP. ■
