🇵🇭 Philippine Stocks in 2025: A Year of Lost Confidence

In this episode, we look back at the Philippine stock market in twenty twenty-five. The Philippine Stock Exchange Index fell by more than seven percent over the year, making it the most challenging period for the market since the pandemic crash of twenty twenty. But this was not just a story about weak numbers. Corruption concerns, slowing economic growth, currency pressure, and continued foreign capital outflows all weighed on investor sentiment. At the heart of it all was a deeper issue: trust and confidence. In this episode, we explain: – why Philippine stocks struggled despite appearing cheap, – why valuation alone was not enough to lift the market, – and what conditions may shape a recovery in twenty twenty-six.
