Australia looking to invest more in the Philippines

Media Release

08 September 2026

A delegation comprising some of Australia’s largest institutional investors, representing almost A$1.4 trillion in assets under management, will visit the Philippines from 8 to 9 September 2026 to explore new investment opportunities in energy, infrastructure and other strategic sectors.

Senior representatives from AustralianSuper, IFM Investors, Macquarie Asset Management, PentagreenCapital and Plenary Group will meet Philippine business leaders, senior Government officials, and major project sponsors.

Together, these investors bring extensive global experience in financing, developing and managing major infrastructure, energy and strategic assets – as well as significant pools of long-term capital.

The delegation also includes investors supported through the Australian Government’s A$2 billion Southeast Asia Investment Financing Facility, administered by Export Finance Australia. The facility is helping Australian investors pursue opportunities across Southeast Asia, including in the Philippines.

The delegation will explore opportunities arising from the Philippines’ ambitious infrastructure expansion and energy transition.
