The Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) is a state-owned development bank headquartered in Makati, Philippines. It is primarily tasked to provide banking services to cater to the needs of agricultural and industrial enterprises.[4] It has 146 branches including 14 branch lite units.[5]
It was established after World War II in 1947 on the government's effort through its mandate to rebuild the country's war torned infrastructure. It focuses on four major areas of financing — infrastructure and logistics, social services, small and medium enterprises, and the environment.[6]
As of 2023[update], it was the eighth-largest bank in the Philippines in terms of assets.[7][8] DBP is also the second-largest and one of the state-owned and controlled banks along with Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP), Overseas Filipino Bank (OFW Bank), and Al-Amanah Islamic Bank. As a GOCC (Government Operated and Controlled Corporation), DBP is required to declare and remit at least half of its annual net earnings to the National Government.
