As part of the joint effort, the two groups will roll out a series of events for international investors, including virtual roadshows and C-suite roundtables.
They also plan to expand training opportunities for Philippine-based investor relations professionals.
PSE seeks to spark more global interest
“Our capital markets are home to some of Asia’s most exciting companies. We want to amplify their growth and expansion initiatives, and sustainability endeavors,” PSE president and CEO Ramon S. Monzon said on Thursday.
“We trust that upcoming discussions with market participants will spur more global interest in these listed firms and our markets,” he added.
The collaboration will center on education campaigns for investors and listed companies, supporting the PSE’s broader push to increase awareness of the local capital markets and spark dialogue about development opportunities.
Bloomberg signals wider investor reach
Bing Li, head of APAC at Bloomberg, said the outreach is a signal of greater openness from the Philippine market.
“As global investors seek greater exposure to Southeast Asian assets, they will inevitably be drawn to those markets that show an appetite to grow and evolve in ways comparable to other financial centers around the world,” Li said.
“This initiative can start an important dialogue with local market participants about how they can better tell their story to global investors through transparency and data. We’re proud to work with the PSE and Philippine-based companies as they showcase their value to institutional investors everywhere,” he added.
