BDO Capital Celebrates 25 Years of Helping the Philippine Economy and Businesses

“Our growth is a reflection of the trust our clients place in us. We will continue to strengthen partnerships and apply financial solutions specific to each customer’s needs to be able to attain and support economic development, as well as promote a sustainable business environment.” ~Eduardo Francisco, President of BDO Capital


As it marks its 25th anniversary, BDO Capital & Investment Corporation (BDO Capital) is still committed to fostering corporate expansion, creating jobs, and advancing the nation's economy.  BDO Capital has grown from a little participant to a prominent investment bank, contributing to the development of the Philippine financial system and facilitating the growth and success of businesses.


Growth Through the Years
Alongside the Philippine economy, BDO Capital has developed its capacity to adapt to the shifting demands of enterprises.  It has enabled a total of PHP12.5 trillion in transactions since the year 2000, with an average of PHP500 billion in transactions every year.  These deals, which include finance, equity, and consulting services, demonstrate the company's commitment to giving companies access to funding so they can thrive.


Adapting to a Dynamic Market
From straightforward loans to complex structured financing, BDO Capital has been innovative in its approach to financing in order to meet the demands of continuously changing capital markets.  In addition to financial requirements, businesses require strategic solutions that are appropriate for their industries, cash flow needs, long-term goals, and current market conditions.  By virtue of its affiliation with BDO Unibank Inc., BDO Capital has benefited from the group's strong balance sheet, extensive branch network, diverse array of financial products, and sizeable clientele. This partnership has enhanced BDO Capital's reputation as a trustworthy partner for clients and industry stakeholders by allowing it to underwrite and arrange a range of financing options in addition to providing advisory services.

BDO Capital has taken use of the group's robust balance sheet, broad branch network, wide range of financial products, and substantial client base by virtue of its association with BDO Unibank Inc.  This collaboration has strengthened BDO Capital's standing as a reliable partner for customers and industry stakeholders by enabling it to underwrite and arrange a variety of financing options in addition to offering advisory services.


Navigating Market Challenges with Strategic Financial Solutions
BDO Capital has continued to be a dependable partner for its clients in spite of market swings.  As the world recovered from the epidemic in 2022, BDO Capital processed PHP1.4 trillion in transactions, its highest amount to date.  Ironically, in the face of economic uncertainty, issuers were able to get long-term funding by using the debt capital markets to make larger offerings due to market volatility and rising interest rates. High interest rates caused the equity markets to slow, but BDO Capital helped customers overcome these obstacles by developing tailored solutions. BDO Capital continued to perform well in 2023 and 2024, facilitating PHP837 billion and PHP832 billion in transaction volumes, respectively.


Powering Philippine Businesses and Nation-Building
Beyond corporate finance, BDO Capital plays a vital role in fostering national development. It has supported infrastructure projects, facilitated mergers and acquisitions that drive industry growth, and created opportunities for businesses to expand locally and internationally.

In recent years, the high-interest rate environment has prompted capital-intensive industries, such as utilities, to optimize their financial structures. BDO Capital has helped these companies streamline balance sheets through innovative funding mechanisms like sale-and-leaseback transactions, unlocking liquidity while maintaining operational stability.


Looking Ahead: A Stronger Future for Philippine Enterprises
As BDO Capital enters its next chapter, it remains committed to delivering financial solutions that empower businesses.
