History

The Philippine Stock Exchange was formed from two stock exchanges, the Manila Stock Exchange (MSE), established on August 8, 1927, and the Makati Stock Exchange (MkSE), which was established on May 27, 1963.

In June 1998, the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission granted the PSE a "Self-Regulatory Organization" (SRO) status, meaning the bourse can implement its own policies and establish penalties on erring stock brokers, traders, and companies. 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ...


In 2001, one year after the enactment of the Securities Regulation Code, the PSE was transformed from a non-profit, no-stock, member-governed organization into a fledgling revenue-earning corporation headed by a president and a board of directors. The PSE eventually listed its shares on the exchange (traded under the ticker symbol PSE) and eventually ventured on into new fields such as debt securities.

The PSE before the mid-1990s was reminiscent of other outcry stock exchanges found throughout Southeast Asia before the technological advancements made during the last decade. On January 4, 1993, the former Manila Stock Exchange started the computerization of its operations using the Stratus Trading System (STS) with a company called Intelligent Wave Philippines. Later that year, on June 15, the former Makati Stock Exchange adopted the MakTrade trading system, the same system used on the Stock Exchange of Thailand and developed by the Chicago Stock Exchange. Both systems were linked on March 25, 1994, producing one set of opening and closing share prices, but orders were queued up on two different books.

When the PSE started trading bonds on January 15, 2001, the system was modified to allow stock brokers to trade bonds using the same terminal.
