PSE Launches New Electronic Board on Its 10th Listing Anniversary

Makati—(PHStocks)—The Philippine Stock Exchange  (PSE) celebrated its 10th listing anniversary with the launching of a new electronic board at the Ayala Trading Floor.

The unveiling of the new electronic board was led by PSE Chairman Jose T. Pardo and PSE President and CEO Hans B. Sicat with the event’s guest of honor Securities and Exchange Commission Chairperson Teresita Herbosa.

“As we unveil our new electronic board today, I believe that we are also unveiling a new leaf in our history beyond the dynamic visuals that the new electronic board will let us experience henceforth. Given the pace of progress and development of markets globally, I am sure the next ten years will fly by us even faster.  But I am confident that we shall also be able to achieve more in the coming years,” PSE Chairman Jose T. Pardo said in his welcome remarks at the bell ringing ceremony for the listing anniversary.

The electronic board is composed of 130 LED panels covering close to 80 square meters of dynamic display.

It features the most actively traded stocks by value and the top ten gainers and losers. The new electronic board also has interactive display of US and Asian Markets, currency updates and has video-playing capability.
