MANILA, Philippines – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) remains steadfast in enforcing the 20 percent minimum public float rule for firms aiming to list on the domestic stock exchange, though some exceptions can be made.
On Thursday, the regulatory body issued a statement asserting that the current rule “significantly enhances price determination and minimizes chances for price manipulation.”
“The SEC continues to uphold the 20 percent minimum public float requirement for firms seeking an initial public offering (IPO). This stance is particularly strong considering the benefits of increased public ownership towards enhancing market depth and efficiency,” stated the SEC.

“The float requirement aims to decrease ownership concentration and promote sound corporate governance, thereby bolstering the Filipino capital market,” it further stated.
Following confirmation from Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) President and CEO Ramon Monzon to reporters, it was revealed that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has endorsed their plan to lower the required minimum public ownership threshold to 15 percent for firms aiming to secure at least PHP 5 billion through an initial public offering (IPO).
When relaxing the regulations, Monzon stated that businesses should be encouraged to go public, particularly considering the present unstable market circumstances.
Although the CEO stated that the SEC provided general authorization, the commission later specified that this was permissible only when firms requested exemptive relief.
Up until now, the SEC hasn’t received any such applications from companies planning to go public, like the well-known digital wallet service GCash.
According to the SEC regulations, businesses availing of the reduced public float requirement must achieve at least a 20% threshold within two years after listing on the stock exchange. This target can be reached through additional share offerings.
The SEC is dedicated to sustaining an open, fair, and effective capital market,” stated the SEC. “Although the commission encourages new listings, it maintains strict regulatory criteria designed to protect the integrity and long-term stability of both the Philippine capital market and the overall economy.
Previously, analysts cautioned that decreasing the minimum threshold for public shareholding might deter individuals from investing in the Philippine stock market.

MANILA — The trade gap in the Philippines narrowed to its smallest size in almost four years during February, driven by continued growth in exports albeit at a reduced rate along with a decline in imports, according to initial government statistics released on Friday.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the trade shortfall decreased to $3.15 billion in February, marking the lowest level since June 2021. The deficit for January underwent a slight revision upwards to $5.12 billion from an initially stated figure of $5.08 billion.
In February, exports climbed by 3.9%, amounting to $6.2 billion, which was a deceleration from January’s increase of 6.3%. On the other hand, imports dropped by 1.8% year-over-year to reach $9.4 billion, contrasting with the prior month’s expansion of 11.2%.
The economy grew at an annual rate of 5.2% during the last quarter of 2024, maintaining the same speed as in the prior period yet falling short of what analysts had anticipated. The administration plans to publish the first-quarter growth data on May 8.

Approximately 12% of businesses in South Korea faced insolvency last year because of the decline in the construction and property sectors, which represents the highest rate since 2019. These enterprises, weighed down by greater debts than their asset values, confront total loss of capital and fiscal insecurity.
Based on data from the Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) dated March 23, approximately 4,466 businesses—representing 11.9% of the total 37,510 externally audited enterprises (financial institutions excluded)—are projected to face complete bankruptcy. This figure shows an uptick of 116 companies (+2.7%) compared to the previous count of 4,350 in 2023, marking the highest point within this span over the past six years since records started being kept in 2019. Additionally, the likelihood of these companies going bankrupt hit a new peak at 8.2% last year.
In terms of industries, those involved in real estate and rentals experienced the greatest vulnerability at 24.1%, directly affected by the decline in construction activities. Following closely were utility companies (15.7%), sectors related to healthcare and social assistance (14.2%), as well as entertainment and recreation services (14.0%). Construction saw the most significant rise; its insolvency risk climbed to 6.1%—almost double what it was five years earlier when it stood at 3.3%. This surge can be attributed primarily to reduced project orders amidst elevated interest rates and inflation levels.
A representative from FKI cautioned, “The swift rise of bankrupt firms intensifies ambiguity by deteriorating the actual economy and amplifying hazards within the financial sector,” further stating that “these threats can be mitigated via decreased borrowing expenses and enhanced liquidly assistance.”

Persepsi risiko investasi atau
Credit Default Swap
(CDS) jangka waktu lima tahun untuk Indonesia baru-baru ini menunjukkan peningkatan. Kondisi ini berlangsung seiring dengan goncangan yang mempengaruhi bursa saham dalam negeri.
Menurut informasi dari situs World Government Bonds, selisih risiko kredit atau CDS jangka waktu lima tahun untuk Indonesia pada minggu tersebut (23/3) adalah 91,66. Nilai ini mengalami peningkatan sebesar 11,08% dibandingminggu-minggu sebelumnya. Selain itu, CDS Indonesia juga menunjukkan kenaikan yaitu 28,82% dalam satu bulan terakhir serta 30,76% dalam enam bulan belakangan.
Pakar Pasar Keuangan dan juga Direktur Avere Investama Teguh Hidayat mengatakan bahwa meningkatnya sentimen risiko dalam berinvestasi disebabkan oleh arus dana asing yang melimpah keluar dari beberapa segmen seperti saham, surat utang, serta bidang usaha nyata. Misalnya saja, para investor luar negeri telah melakukan pencatatan di pasar modal.

(hingga saat ini) sampai tanggal 21 Maret 2025.
Keluarnya modal asing dapat dipicu oleh sejumlah alasan, baik internal maupun external. Beberapa penyebab utamanya meliputi kebijakan tariff dari Presiden AS Donald Trump yang mengacaukan situasi geopolitik global, resesi hubungan Israel dan Palestina yang bangkit lagi, serta masalah politik di Turki sehingga merosotnya indeks pasar saham negeri itu.

Meskipun demikian, Teguh berpendapat bahwa elemen luar negeri kurang memiliki dampak signifikan terhadap para pemodal asing yang beroperasi di Indonesia. Sebalinya, para pemodal tersebut cenderung khawatir tentang situasi dalam negeri yang dipenuhi ketidakjelasan.
Baru-baru ini, pemerintahan menghadapi kritikan karena sejumlah keputusan terbaru mereka yang memicu demonstrasi besar-besaran dalam masyarakat. Sebagai contoh, pendirian Dewan Manajemen Investasi (DMI) Danantara telah menuai celaan akibat adanya dugaan bahwa hal itu membuka pintu bagi campur tangan urusan politik yang melibatkan para pejabat senior di lembaga tersebut.
Belum termasuk perdebatan seputar penyetujuan revisi UU Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI), yang menimbulkan kontroversi hingga memicu unjuk rasa di beberapa pusat kota utama. Arah gelombang protes bisa saja berulang saat pemerintah dan Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR) mulai merundingkanRUU Kepolisian Republik Indonesia (PolRI).
“Kebijakan-kebijakan kontroversial tersebut akhirnya menjadi perhatian bagi pers luar negeri. Melalui informasi itu, para investor asing menyadari situasi nyata yang berlangsung di Indonesia, membuat mereka khawatir untuk berinvestasi di sana dan pada akhirnya memilih untuk meninggalkannya secara sementara,” jelasnya, Minggu (23/3).
Analis pasar modal dari Universitas Indonesia yang bernama Budi Frensidy turut menyampaikan bahwa suasana politik di Indonesia sedang panas akhir-akhir ini setelah berbagai unjuk rasa terjadi sehubungan dengan perdebatan tentang keputusan pemerintahan. Ini tanpa raga akan mencerminkan persepsi risiko dalam bidang investasi di negara tersebut.
Di samping itu, Indeks CDS di Indonesia mengalami kenaikan akibat dari pemangkasan peringkat pasar modal domestik oleh dua institusi global, yaitu Morgan Stanley dan Goldman Sachs.
Kenaikan tingkat CDS di Indonesia akan memperberat pergerakan indeks harga saham gabungan (IHSG) dalam beberapa periode mendatang. Terlebih lagi, IHSG juga dipengaruhi oleh berbagai sentimen negatif yang muncul di kancah global.
“Tentu saja ini menjadi beban berat untuk IHSG, namun semoga hal tersebut tidak menyebabkan indeks jatuh di bawah level 6.000,” ujar Budi pada hari Minggu (23/3).
Walaupun terdapat risiko dari fluktuasi pasarnya tetap ada, Budi mengestimasikan bahwa Indeks Harga Saham Gabungan (IHSG) bisa bergerak hingga tingkat sekitar 6.400 pada akhir kuarter I tahun 2025. Sedangkan untuk akhir tahun ini sendiri, dia meramalkan IHSG akan berkisar antara 6.700 hingga 6.800.
Dia pun mengestimasi bahwa saham perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang perkebunan kelapa sawit serta sektor makanan memiliki potensi untuk terus bertambah nilainya hingga tahun 2025 asalkan harga tetap stabil.

,” imbuhnya.
Sebaliknya, Teguh mengestimasikan bahwa IHSG tetap memiliki risiko untuk jatuh di bawah level saat ini. Kondisi itu mungkin akan terwujud apabila pemerintahan tidak segera melakukan evaluasi atas keputusan-keputusannya yang berkaitan dengan keyakinan para investormu asing, disertai dengan penurunan kesehatan ekonomi negara secara keseluruhan.
“Bukan mustahil IHSG dapat turun hingga level 5.000. Namun demikian, diharapkan pemerintah tak mengeluarkan keputusan yang ganjil, agar bursa saham bisa bangkit,” jelaskan Teguh.
Meskipun demikian, ia belum dapat memberi rekomendasi tentang saham unggulan pada saat ini karena keadaan pasarnya yang belum pasti. Akibatnya, para investor lebih baik melakukan pantauan sambil menunggu terlebih dahulu.
