Ayala Corporation has signed a US$100 million sustainability-linked loan facility with DBS Bank, marking Ayala’s first Singapore dollar-denominated hedged loan facility.
The agreement aims to diversify Ayala’s funding sources and support the continued expansion of its businesses across key sectors. The loan also strengthens the company’s commitment to sustainable finance and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.
Ayala said the proceeds will help fund the development of its growing portfolio while improving financial flexibility. Company executives said the transaction reflects strong investor confidence in Ayala’s long-term growth and disciplined capital management strategy.
Ayala chief financial officer Juan Carlos L. Syquia said the facility supports the company’s growth plans while reinforcing responsible and sustainable business practices. Treasurer Estelito C. Biacora added that the deal broadens Ayala’s access to regional funding sources and deepens the integration of sustainability into its financing strategy.
DBS executive Lim Wee Seng described the loan as an important step in financial innovation and resilience, noting that the structure gives Ayala flexibility to choose between Singapore dollar and US dollar borrowing.
The signing ceremony was held on May 6, 2026, at Ayala’s headquarters in Makati City.
As of end-2025, the Ayala Group has secured around $6.9 billion in sustainable financing, highlighting growing adoption of sustainability-linked financial instruments in the Philippines.
