As the Philippine economy continues to evolve, the firm is strengthening its role as a forward-thinking, innovation-driven partner for growth.
A legacy of partnership built with purpose
Part of BDO Capital’s continued success lies in the value it places on client partnerships — building trust, fostering connections, and strengthening relationships that contribute to the country’s economic progress. It has also been a steadfast partner in nation-building, consistently supporting government initiatives that enhance mobility, promote sustainability, and drive inclusive progress.
These investments aim to create lasting value for businesses and communities by advancing key sectors, including sustainability and infrastructure. The firm has funded significant development projects, including the modernization of NAIA, MRT-7, Skyway Stage 3, and TPLEX. These projects have been completed in collaboration with companies like San Miguel Corporation. Additionally, the firm is promoting sustainability through a large solar and battery storage initiative with Meralco PowerGen to address the country's increasing demand for clean energy.
“We will continue to strengthen partnerships and apply financial solutions specific to each customer’s needs to attain and support economic development, as well as promote a sustainable business environment,” said Eduardo Francisco, President of BDO Capital.

By turning crises into opportunities, BDO Capital played a vital role in helping enterprises overcome challenges and emerge stronger. Through strategic advisory and innovative financing solutions, it enabled businesses to rebuild, reposition, and pursue progress in the post-pandemic economy. As the markets recovered in 2022, this led to a record-high transaction volume for the firm, amounting to P1.4 trillion.
That same year, the brand earned multiple distinctions as a leading Corporate and Investment Bank at the Asian Banking & Finance Awards, and was also named Best Investment Bank in the Philippines by renowned local and international institutions, including the Investment House Association of the Philippines (IHAP), FinanceAsia, Asiamoney, Alpha Southeast Asia, Global Finance, Acquisition International, The Asset, and the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association. These recognitions highlight the company’s longstanding leadership in the local investment banking industry, based on its strong capital foundation, financial stability, extensive distribution network, and customer-focused approach. This strong position enables the bank to offer tailored, effective solutions that help clients, issuers, and investors achieve their business goals, contribute to the country’s economic growth, and shape the landscape of Philippine finance.
Driving growth
Looking ahead, BDO Capital foresees strong growth prospects in the Philippines. In BDO's recent market outlook for corporate clients, Francisco highlighted the country's strong growth, citing its resilience and substantial investment opportunities within a shifting global economy. The firm views the Philippines as an attractive investment opportunity, emphasizing adaptability, sustainable practices, and well-planned financing. With extensive experience in structured financing, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and international investments, BDO strives to be a reliable partner for businesses seeking to capitalize on the country’s growth. "As a pioneer in sustainable finance, BDO is committed to driving business growth," he said.

Moving forward, BDO Capital will continue to fuel the nation’s growth by identifying strategic investment opportunities and spearheading innovative capital-raising solutions. The firm plans to expand its sustainable finance portfolio, with a focus on renewable energy projects, green bonds, and sustainability-linked loans. It is also leveraging digital platforms to make capital raising more accessible and efficient for clients. With that, BDO Capital strengthens the nation's power infrastructure, promotes economic growth, supports communities, and fosters long-term success.
BDO Capital’s 25-year milestone is a testament to its unwavering commitment to excellence in delivering high-quality investment banking services in the Philippine capital markets.
