Subic Freeport records $5.925-B investment in 17 years

SUBIC BAY Freeport: Setting aside the limelight in favor for the 21st ad congress and opting to celebrate its 17th year anniversary in silence, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority announced yesterday that it had recorded $5.925 billion committed investments since it started operating the Freeport in 1992.
In a statement the agency said that in today’s exchange rate, that amount is equivalent to P276.79 billion, or an average of P16.28 billion each year in investment pledges recorded in the past 17 years.

“Our track record speaks for itself,” said SBMA chairman Feliciano Salonga.
“While the past year or so has been a difficult time, Subic has never wavered in its pursuit of more investments and continued its dogged pursuit of new investment niches,” Salonga asserted.

Salonga also attributed Subic’s continuing resiliency “to the faith of investors in the growing competitiveness of the Subic Bay Freeport.”
SBMA administrator Armand Arreza said that Subic has continued to defied the odds with positive performance in terms of investments generation, job creation despite the global economic slowdown last year.
Investments pour in
Arreza pointed out that despite growing economic uncertainties in the first quarter of 2009, the SBMA managed to squeeze in a total of $31.72 million in new investments even as major economies suffered major income reversals.

Thereafter, Subic followed it up with $60.46 million in the second quarter, $41.12 million in the third quarter, and $26.45 million from October to the first half of November.

Jobs
“The continuing entry of investors also revved up employment generation, so that as of September Subic had a total active workforce of 86,229. This represents an increase of 3.36 percent over the September 2008 figure of 83,428, and that’s despite the recession that affected quite a number of companies here,” he added.

Arreza said most of the Subic firms affected by the downturn had since recovered, while other companies, fueled by the resurgence of the electronics sector, “have been, in fact, undertaking expansion projects.”

Salonga-Arreza tandem
According to SBMA data, most of the investments recorded in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone have been generated under the Salonga-Arreza administration that began in September 2005.

The total investment commitments generated in this period amounted to $3.55 billion, or more than 52 percent of the cumulative amount.

Subic’s biggest year-on-year investment was made in 2007 when a total of $1.71 billion was approved by the SBMA. In 2006, Hanjin pledged its initial $1-billion commitment for its shipyard project, cranking Subic’s investment generation that year to a total of $1.44 billion.

Arreza said that in the next few years, the SBMA will be focusing on projects that would expand the physical boundaries of the Subic Bay Freeport and allow the SBMA to generate more investments.

“This will be the new mission for the SBMA,” Arreza said. “We have already exceeded by more than four times the number of jobs lost in Subic when the U.S. Navy left in 1992. Now we’re looking at bringing development outside of the free port, to the communities that have helped nurture the Subic dream since 1992.”
