It noted that, “High profile landmark issues like MREIT’s US$305 million IPO and FMCG-focused Monde Nissin Corp's P55.8 billion IPO are, in fact, perfect examples of how best to create shareholder value.”
“With a stronger framework of corporate governance in place led by the PSE and an ongoing push to raise the standards of timely disclosure, PSE is well positioned among issuers and investors, both local and foreign,” the magazine added.
