2026 Strategic Investment Priority Plan Approved by Marcos Administration
The Marcos administration approved the 2026 Strategic Investment Priority Plan, which expands incentives for industries in sustainability, national development, and advanced technology. The framework aims to attract investment, boost innovation, and strengthen the Philippines’ competitiveness.
The 2026 Strategic Investment Priority Plan (SIPP), a three-year framework designed to provide a list of priority industries, sectors, and business projects that qualify for investment incentives, was approved on May 21. As of publication, its implementation timeline is expected to start in the third quarter of the year after the Board of Investments (BOI) has finalized the plan’s General Policies (GP) and Specific Guidelines (SG). In the meantime, officials note that the 2022 SIPP’s GP and SG remain in effect until then. Overall, the 2026 SIPP is geared towards making the Philippines a more attractive investment destination.
