Daily TribuneThe Board of Investments One-Stop-Action Center for Strategic Investments said the 232 Green Lane-certified projects represent a combined investment value of P6.11 trillion ($107.69 billion) and are expected to generate approximately 398,567 jobs nationwide.
A total of 232 strategic projects were awarded Green Lane statuses for the whole year 2025, the Board of Investments-One-Stop Action Center for Strategic Investments (OSAC-SI) reported on Thursday.
The BoI OSAC-SI serves as the primary gateway for investors in the country, facilitating business registration, licensing, and permit processing. Its primary function is to simplify and expedite the investment process, particularly for projects deemed as “strategic investments.”
Valued at P6.11 trillion
BoI-OSAC-SI said the 232 Green Lane-certified projects represent a combined investment value of P6.11 trillion ($107.69 billion) and are expected to generate approximately 398,567 jobs nationwide.
Of the total 232 endorsed projects, 163 projects, valued at P5.48 trillion, are in the pre-development stage, 47 projects are already in the construction phase, while six are in the pre-operation stage, and 16 projects are already operational.
RE-dominated Green Lane portfolio
Renewable energy dominates the Green Lane portfolio, accounting for 179 projects with investments amounting to P5.21 trillion, and generating an estimated 249,801 jobs.
Other priority sectors covered under Executive Order No. 18 include digital infrastructure, food security, manufacturing, and public-private partnership infrastructure and water projects — sectors aligned with the administration’s development agenda.
The Green Lane mechanism has also supported the registration of companies with the BoI, in which, as of end-2025, 110 projects are already registered with the BoI and one with the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), with a combined project cost of P3.16 trillion.
121 projects pursued as investment leads
Meanwhile, 121 projects amounting to approximately P2.95 trillion are still being eyed for registration or are being actively pursued as investment leads.
For 2025 alone, the BoI data showed that 34 Green Lane projects were registered with the BoI, highlighting the role of the Green Lane in helping investors navigate regulatory processes and move their projects forward more efficiently.
The Green Lane initiative, established under EO 18, aims to realize investors’ projects in the soonest possible time, while increasing trust and confidence in government processes through streamlined, transparent and coordinated action across agencies.
Green Lane initiative
Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Ma. Cristina Roque expressed the significance of the initiative, stating: “The Green Lane 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 added.
