PEZA Moratorium Lift to Expand Metro Manila Office Supply and FDI

The lifting of Administrative Order No. 18 (AO 18) moratorium on PEZA zone proclamations in Metro Manila is expected to boost office supply and foreign direct investment, as PEZA-accredited office space has declined from 1.59 million to 1.46 million square meters while demand from IT-BPM firms and multinational companies remains strong. The policy change will enhance Metro Manila's competitiveness, expand housing demand in key business districts, and reinforce the region's role as the nation's primary gateway for global business services and investment.
