Higher tax to make PSE less competitive By Jenniffer B. Austria THE Philippine Stock Exchange will become less competitive to foreign investors, after Congress passed a measure raising tax on stock transactions, PSE president Ramon Monzon said Thursday. The bicameral conference committee on Wednesday night increased the stock transactions tax to 0.6 percent from 0.5 percent as a part of the government’s move to raise revenues to fund infrastructure projects. “On the surface it might look small. But what we have to understand is that the Philippine market does not operate alone. We really compete with other exchanges for the money of foreign investors. If the stock transaction tax will increase, then the friction cost
will also increase,” Monzon. Monzon said the local bourse already has the highest friction cost in the region at 0.5 percent and this would increase to 0.6 percent. Monzon said other exchanges have no stock transaction tax at all. He said while the measure might not significantly affect small local investors, this would have a significant impact on foreign investors that were trading millions of dollars. “In developing the capital markets, we have to be conscious of what other exchanges are doing in the region, and globally. Foreign investors go to a place where there is less transaction cost. So if we have transaction tax, then we will become very uncompetitive compared with other exchanges,” he said.
Stock market advances; Bloomberry, GT Cap up
S
TOCKS rose for a second day, sending the benchmark index to a one-month high, after Congress passed a tax reform bill and Fitch Ratings upgraded the country’s debt score. Congress ratified the tax reform bill raising levies on coal, cars, soft drinks and cosmetic surgeries to finance the country’s crumbling infrastructure. The Philippine Stock Exchange index, the 30-company benchmark, jumped 101 points, or 1.2 percent, to close at 8,461.06 Thursday, as five of the six major sectors advanced. It was
also up 23.7 percent since the start of the year. The heavier index, representing all shares, also gained 56 points, or 1.2 percent, to settle at 4,938.54, on a value turnover of P7.6 billion. Gainers outnumbered losers, 110 to 103, while 33 issues were unchanged. Sixteen of the 20 most active stocks ended in the
green, led by gaming company Bloomberry Resorts Corp. which surged 6.7 percent to P11.20 and conglomerate GT Capital Holdings Inc. which climbed 5 percent to P1,270. SM Prime Holdings Inc. rose 3.6 percent to P37.80. Meanwhile, the dollar suffered fresh losses on Thursday as Asian investors followed their New York counterparts in shifting out of the unit, unmoved by another interest rate hike and an upbeat assessment of the world’s top economy. The fall in the greenback
was mirrored in a broad sell-off in regional equities as traders ignored another record finish for the Dow on Wall Street. The dollar was hit by selling after the much-anticipated central bank meeting, which provided little to excite buyers, despite tentative hopes US lawmakers are on course to push through market-friendly tax cuts. The Fed lifted borrowing costs as expected and said economic growth would be stronger than initially forecast, while inflation would
