The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) announced plans to ease listing rules for exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as reported by Inquirer.net. The move aims to encourage more fund managers to list ETFs and broaden investment options for Filipino investors.
Under the proposed changes, the PSE will lower the minimum asset requirement and streamline the approval process for new ETFs. The adjustments are expected to reduce barriers to entry and promote product innovation in the local capital market.
Industry observers view the relaxed rules as a positive step for the Philippine stock market, potentially increasing liquidity and offering retail investors more diversified, low-cost investment vehicles. The PSE has not yet set a timeline for implementing the revised regulations.
