Philippine Stock Exchange

The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) is working to revitalize its market through initiatives such as encouraging more initial public offerings (IPOs) and welcoming investments from entities like Maharlika Investment Corp. and technology firms, aiming to boost investor confidence and economic growth. Recent developments include a major IPO by Maynilad Water Services Inc., which raised P34.3 billion, and efforts by the government to attract listings from companies like Grab and GCash. However, the PSE has faced challenges, including a decline in the PSEi index due to economic uncertainties and political issues, prompting calls for reforms and increased participation from both domestic and international investors.
