Fundamental View
AS OF 13 Jan 2025- The Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) has a long history and we believe it is a fundamentally sound bank given its prudent capitalization and sound liquidity. We expect the bank to continue to maintain its profitability amid a Philippine gross domestic product (GDP) outlook of around 6% (2025-2026).
- We view the bank as systemically important to the state given its large balance sheet and strategic policy function.
- Despite DBP’s non-performing loan (NPL) ratio of 7.19% (2023), which is higher compared to the 1.13% of Indonesia’s state-owned Bank Mandiri, we still remain comfortable on DBP’s credit profile given its government banking and strong balance sheet.
