  A new investment will help increase access to finance for blue projects in the Philippines with IFC’s subscription of up to $100 million to a Blue Bond to be issued by BDO Unibank, Inc. (BDO), the largest bank in the country. This will help tackle marine pollution and preserve clean water resources while supporting the country’s climate goals.  Solid waste management and marine plastics are key issues for the Philippines, threatening several elements of the blue economy as well as urban public health.
