PROPERTY SECTOR

From 1990 to 2014, the East Asia and Pacific attracted $285 billion in
infrastructure investment with private sector participation. In 2014, this investment
amounted to $11.5 billion, or 3% of total infrastructure spending. China accounts for
a major share of the regions public-private partnerships while significant growth is
seen in Malaysia and the Philippines. Given that the share for Philippines in the East
Asia and Pacific for the investment of infrastructure projects is significantly large,
which places third at 14%; it will definitely imply that the property sector of the
Philippines is a good industry to venture and invest. Higher investments entail
better investor prospects for profit, thus making the sector a gold mine for
investments.
