[ 498 words|2023.1.27|英字 (English) ]

Transactions on foreign investments registered with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), through authorized agent banks, in December 2022 recorded net inflows of $93 million, lower compared to the $489 million net inflows recorded in November 2022.

This resulted from the $1.09 billion gross inflows and $999 million gross outflows for the month, said the BSP Thursday.

The $1.09 billion registered investments in December 2022 reflected an increase of 3.6 percent (or by $38 million) compared to the $1.05 billion registered in November 2022.

Majority of investments (74 percent) registered were in PSE-listed securities (investments mainly in holding firms, telecommunications, banks, property and food, beverage & tobacco, while the remaining went to investments in Peso government securities (GS - 26.0 percent) and other instruments (less than 1 percent).

Investments for the month mostly came from the United Kingdom (UK), Singapore, United States (US); Luxembourg and Netherlands with combined share to total at 80.5 percent.

The $999 million gross outflows for the month were larger by 76.6 percent (or by $433 million) than the $566 million recorded in November 2022. The US received 72 percent of total outward remittances.

Year-on-year, registered investments in December 2022 decreased by 18 percent (or by $240 million) from the $1.3 billion recorded in December 2021, while gross outflows were also lower by 25.2 percent (or by $337 million) than the outflows recorded for the same period last year ($1.3 billion).

The $93 million net inflows in December 2022 is a reversal of the $4 million net outflows recorded in December 2021.

For the whole year 2022, foreign investments registered with the BSP, through authorized agent banks aggregated $12.3 billion, reflecting a 9.4 percent decrease (or by $1.3 billion) compared to the $13.6 billion level in 2021.

These investments were predominantly investment in PSE-listed securities (78.2 percent) mostly in electricity, energy, power & water; property; holding firms; banks; and food, beverage & tobacco, while the balance was invested in peso government security (21.6 percent) and other investments (less than 1 percent).

The UK, Singapore, US, Luxembourg, and Hong Kong were the top five investor countries during the year, with combined share to total at 81.8 percent.

Recorded outflows of $11.5 billion were lower compared to previous year’s $14.2 billion (by 19.3 percent or $2.7 billion). Majority (or 95 percent) of these outflows represented capital repatriation while the remaining 5 percent pertained to remittance of earnings. The US continued to be the main destination of outflows with 72.9 percent of total.

Transactions on these registered foreign investments from January 1 to December 31 2022 yielded net inflows of $887 million, a turnaround from the $574 million net outflows noted for the same period last year.

On a per investment instrument level, transactions in PSE-listed shares resulted in net inflows of $179 million which is a reversal from the $956 million net outflows last year, while those for peso government securities recorded net inflows of $694 million, higher compared to last year’s $398 million net inflows.
