President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s trips abroad have begun materializing with approved foreign investment ballooning to ₱427 billion in the nine months to September, a trade official said.

In a Palace briefing on Tuesday, Trade Undersecretary Ceferino Rodolfo said the total investment approvals from January to September reached ₱734 billion, up from ₱362 billion a year ago.

However, the central bank in September reported that foreign direct investments or actual fund inflows dropped 20.4% to $3.911 billion in the first semester due"largely to investor concerns over weak growth prospects amid persistent global uncertainties." The DTI official said about 90% of the ₱427 billion investments were directed to the renewable energy market.

Marcos was in Belgium in December 2022 for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations-European Union Commemorative Summit.
