Located in the Davao region of Mindanao Island in the southern Philippines, the Samal Island-Davao City bridge project is designed to build a cross-sea bridge with a total length of 3.86 kilometers, connecting Davao City and Samal Island across the Pakiputan Strait. The project is well received locally as a long cherished dream coming true. After completion, it will improve local transportation infrastructure, enhance traffic efficiency, revitalize local economy and create new jobs, thus improving people’s livelihood and promoting coordinated economic and social development.

Over the years, China Eximbank has financed a number of key projects involving infrastructure and people’s livelihood in the Philippines, including the fields of agriculture, water conservancy and transportation. These projects have effectively improved local infrastructure, promoted connectivity and boosted economic and social development. In the future, China Eximbank will continue to expand practical cooperation with the Philippines and help raise bilateral economic cooperation and trade to new heights.
