Philippine Bourse Seeks to Boost Retail Trading with New Reforms

The Philippine stock exchange (PSE) is implementing new reforms aimed at attracting retail investors away from online gambling and cryptocurrency trading. Key measures include fast-tracking the accreditation of stockbrokers, allowing margin trading, and offering derivatives products tailored to large investors. The initiative, reported by The Business Times on July 17, 2026, seeks to channel retail capital into the formal equity market as an alternative to speculative digital assets and gambling platforms. The reforms are designed to modernize market access and increase participation from individual investors.
