The Securities and Exchange Commission has extended the discounted fees for the registration of securities for micro, small and medium enterprises until the end of the year, according to a report by Philstar Biz.
The move aims to encourage MSMEs to raise funds through the capital market, lowering barriers for smaller businesses to access financing. The extension comes as part of the SEC's ongoing efforts to support the recovery and growth of the sector.
Under the extended program, MSMEs can benefit from reduced registration costs until December 31, 2026, providing more time for eligible companies to take advantage of the discounted rates and potentially boost capital formation in the Philippine economy.
