A total of 232 strategic projects were approved in 2025 under the Green Lane Initiative, providing high-impact investments with permit and license processing times about 49 percent faster.

Data released by the Board of Investments (BOI) on Thursday showed that projects endorsed as of end-December 2025 have a combined investment value of about P6.11 trillion ($107.69 billion) and are expected to generate around 398,567 jobs nationwide.

Of these, 16 projects are operational, 163 are in pre-development, 47 in construction, and six in pre-operation. The bulk—179 projects—are in renewable energy (RE), with investments of about P5.21 trillion and expected employment of roughly 249,801.

BOI Director Ernesto Delos Reyes Jr. said the Green Lane Initiative “reinforces our commitment to a whole-of-government approach in investment facilitation.”

“By improving coordination among national government agencies and local government units, we are helping investors move from planning to implementation more efficiently, while ensuring that projects aligned with national priorities are realized and translated into jobs and inclusive growth,” he said.

Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ma. Cristina Roque said the initiative “reflects President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s administration’s strong commitment to creating an environment conducive to investments.”

“It is a critical step in enhancing the Philippines’ position as an investment hub in Asia, which will ultimately benefit our people by generating jobs and fostering sustainable economic growth,” she said.
