                    [Title] => PSE to introduce separate board for dollar-denominated issues
                    [Summary] => The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) will introduce before the end of the year a separate board for the trading of dollar-denominated securities, providing a new spin in the country’s stock market trades.


PSE chairperson Vivian Yuchengco said they intend to establish the dollar board by Sept. 16, coinciding with the launching of the "New Exchange," an ambitious roadshow to promote and revive the flagging investor interest in the local bourse.

PSE chief operating officer Jose Cervantes said their proposal to introduce the DDT has been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).

But he said the PSE still has to craft the specific guidelines before it offers the new facility, possibly by the middle of next year.

Local stocks resumed their downtrend after a brief recovery last Wednesday, as investors quickly cashed in on the previous day's gains following an aggressive hike in key overnight rates by the Bangko Sentral to counter pressures on the weakening peso.

The BSP raised its overnight borrowing and lending rates by half a percentage point each to 9.5 percent and 11.75 percent, respectively, in parallel with the 50-basis point hike in the benchmark US interest rates announced by the Federal Reserve Board last May 16.
