PSE eyes more Japanese investors

The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) is tapping the services of a Japanese company in a bid to boost Japan's investments in the country.

In a statement, the PSE said it has partnered with Takara Printing Co., Ltd. to spur interest in the local stock market among companies, investors and other market participants in Japan.

The agreement is expected to strengthen the collaboration between companies, allowing the sharing of information about listing in the PSE.

It is also expected to enhance investor relations activities and marketing initiatives in both the Philippines and Japan.
 
Last February, Takara Printing translated the PSE’s listing kit and new listing rules to Japanese.

The PSE said it has recognized the need for a Japanese translated listing manual as more Japanese firms are encouraged to establish their Philippine subsidiaries given the country’s sound economic performance.

The Philippine economy has grown above 7 percent for four straight quarters, expanding by 7.5 percent in the second quarter this year – the fastest in Asia and on a par with China. — Danessa O. Rivera/BM, GMA News
