(ALI) is targeting to raise P55 billion in fresh funds this year to settle debt and support its expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have a very busy year ahead of us. This year, we intend to raise a total of P55 billion, P25 billion of which will go toward the refinancing of maturing obligations, and P30 billion will support our P95-billion capital expenditure (capex) program,\u201d ALI Chief Finance Officer Augusto D. Bengzon said during a media briefing in Makati City on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Bengzon said 60% of the planned P55-billion fundraising will be done through sustainability-linked financing, while 40% will be through bilateral credit facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that roughly half of ALI\u2019s sustainability-linked financing will be through a multilateral agency, while the other half will be via the capital market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ALI earmarked P95 billion for capex this year as the real estate company targets launching P100 billion worth of projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the total, 37% will be for residential projects, 25% for estate development, 23% for leasing and hospitality assets, and 15% for land acquisitions and general corporate purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ALI President and Chief Executive Officer Anna Ma. Margarita Bautista-Dy said in the same briefing that the property developer will be aggressive in expanding its commercial and industrial lots business this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis product has traditionally been part of our menu of offerings, accounting for maybe 10% of our sales. This is an area where we believe there are opportunities because the buyers are businesses. Buyers would like to have commercial property as part of their portfolio of real estate assets,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Ms. Dy reiterated that ALI will continue to focus on expanding its premium residential segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur focus on the premium segment will continue, specifically the premium segment and more horizontal developments,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe middle market continues to have some challenges, not just in terms of interest rates being stickier than we would have wanted, but also some oversupply in particular segments and geographies,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(News Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bworldonline.com\/corporate\/2025\/04\/25\/668237\/ayala-land-eyes-p55-billion-fundraising-this-year\/\">Business World<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><em><em><em>This report is prepared by PinoyInvestor\u2019s partner broker below.
