Binawi ni Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Francis Lim ang nauna niyang pahayag na umano’y P1.7 trilyon ang nawala sa stock market value dahil sa isyu ng korapsiyon sa bansa.
Ayon kay Lim nitong Huwebes, ang ulat na pinagbasehan ng kanyang pahayag ay hindi totoo o peke.
“I wish to clarify a statement I made in my speech before FINEX on October 7, in which I cited a report claiming that recent corruption issues had wiped out about P1.7 trillion in market value of publicly listed companies,” ani Lim.
“The information, which had been circulating within business circles and cited by some media outlets, was based on what I believed at the time to be a credible industry report.
“I have since learned that the report was fictitious. I deeply regret any confusion or concern that my statement may have caused,” paliwanag pa niya.
Ani Lim, labis niyang pinagsisisihan ang anumang kalituhan o alalahanin na idinulot nito at binigyang-diin na ang kanyang layunin ay hindi para mag-panic ang mga investor.
“My sole intent was to underscore the vital importance of integrity in our markets and the devastating impact corruption can have on investor confidence,” saad niya.
Ang pagbawi ni Lim sa kanyang pahayag ay kasunod ng paglilinaw ng Malacañang na “fake news” ang ulat na nawalan ng P1.7 trilyon ang stock market sa loob ng tatlong linggo dahil sa flood control scandal.
Sa press briefing sa Malacañang, sinabi ni Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs Secretary Frederick Go, na walang katotohanan ang ulat batay sa nakausap niyang mga opisyal mula sa Philippine Stock Exchange.
Ang pahayag ni Lim ay ikinaalarma ng isang miyembro ng Kamara de Representantes.
Sabi ni House Committee on Public Accounts chairperson at Bicol Saro Party-list Rep. Terry Ridon, hindi akma sa nangyayari sa Philippine capital market ang rebelasyon ni Lim
“While it is true that over the last three months the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) declined from a high of 6,525.04 (July 14) to a low of 5,953.46 (September 30)—an 8.75-percent drop—an objective review of PSEi movements over various timelines shows that weak fundamentals, not the flood control scandal, remain the principal reason for market underperformance,” sabi ni Ridon.
Sa nakaraang anim na buwan (Abril 10 hanggang Oktubre 9), sinabi ni Ridon na ang PSEi ay umabot na sa 6,077.82 noon palang Abril 11, 2025. (Issa ¬Santiago/Billy Begas)
