IATF greenlights PH financial market operations

MANILA – Philippine financial markets are set to re-open any day now after getting an exemption from the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine.

In a joint statement released early Wednesday, the Department of Finance (DOF) and the Bangko

Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corp. (PDEX), Philippine Depository & Trust Corp., and Philippine Securities Settlement Corp. suspended operations on Tuesday in line with government measures to counter a further rise in COVID-19 cases.
