Corporate investors from Japan have found the Philippine market enticing due to the attractive cash flow provided by rental income. Additionally, extended payment terms designed specifically for foreign investors, a feature not universally available, have garnered considerable interest. The upcoming IPIC event aims to deepen understanding and foster connections between Japanese investors and the Philippine real estate industry.
Japanese investors exhibit a strong interest in Philippine real estate opportunities due to various driving forces behind their investments. In addition to currency depreciation and attractive cash flow, other factors include political stability and economic growth in the Philippines.
