Assignment for Final Class October 20, 2004

The topic for our final class is as follows:

Legal Issues in Opening the Philippine Securities Market to the World

Having studied Philippine Securities Law, what do you think are the legal issues that need to be addressed when foreign securities are issued and traded in the Philipines?

To put it in another way, if we were to allow a foreign security (like for example Google shares) to be traded and sold in this country, what legal problems will arise, given the present legal landscape of the Philippine securities market? What are your possible solutions?

I need insights. To help you think about it, try searching for articles in google on global securities regulation.

If your insights impress me, I will reciprocate by giving an open book exam for your finals.
