The firm helped arranged more than P1.7 trillion in bond issuances and P362 billion in private and project finance deals from 2022 to 2024, fueling growth in infrastructure, energy, and digital transformation sectors.
“Our journey over the past 30 years has been defined by purpose-driven finance,” SB Capital president and CEO Virgilio Chua said in a press briefing on Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2025 in Makati City. “We believe capital should not only generate returns—it should generate impact.”
Banner year
In 2025, SB Capital earned multiple international recognitions for its work in sustainable finance, including awards from Euromoney and Alpha Southeast Asia.
The firm led several landmark deals, such as the P150-billion project finance loan for the world’s largest integrated solar and battery energy storage plant and a P100-billion syndicated loan for a major mass rail project in Northern Metro Manila.
These transactions reflect the company’s strategy of supporting projects aligned with national development goals—particularly in renewable energy and infrastructure, where long-term financing remains critical.
What’s next
Chua said the company sees continued growth next year as the pipeline for large-scale sustainable and infrastructure projects expands. The firm expects project finance to remain a key driver in 2026 as both government and private sector clients accelerate capital spending.
“As we look to the future, our focus remains clear: to be the preferred partner for sustainable finance in the Philippines,” he said. “We’re investing in people, platforms, and partnerships that will help industries thrive while advancing our nation’s sustainability and development goals.”
The bottom line
As it closes a record year, SB Capital is positioning itself for another strong run. Its focus on long-term, sustainable project financing—especially in renewable energy and transport—will likely define its growth trajectory heading into 2026 and beyond. —Daxim L. Lucas | Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
