MANILA, Philippines — The net inflow of job-generating foreign direct investments (FDI) into the Philippines snapped five straight months of decline to post a 7.1 percent growth in April.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said on Thursday said $610 million more of FDI entered the country against foreign capital that left during the month. This was an increase from a $570-million net inflow a year ago.

“The increase resulted from higher net inflows from nonresidents’ net investments in debt instruments,” the BSP said.

These surged by 24.3 percent year-on-year from $420 million to $522 million.
