The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) have agreed to formalize an agreement that would would pave the way for the listing of medium and large enterprises in the local bourse.
This developed as DTI Secretary Ma. Cristina Roque visited PSE President and CEO Ramon S. Monzon at the PSE Headquarters in BGC on January 20, 2026 to advocate for medium and large enterprises to explore listing on the PSE, highlighting it as a pathway to accelerated growth. The parties agreed to jointly work on a MOA to formalize the collaboration.
During her visit to PSE Headquarters in BGC on January 20, Secretary Roque emphasized that several companies have already expressed interest in listing, noting, “This is going to support them for their expansion.” Such expansions, she added, would create new job opportunities and further strengthen their businesses.
PSE President Monzon welcomed the initiative, stating, “We are fully committed to partnering with DTI to educate potential medium and large enterprises about listing in the exchange under our Listing Engagement and Assistance Program (LEAP).”
