Economic History

Japan

Stock market-based takeovers of listed firms via tender offer, as widely practiced in the United States and parts of Europe--both friendly and hostile--remain extremely rare in Japan. (references)

Philippines

The new Code requires the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) to "demutualize" (i.e., convert to a stock company) by August 8, 2001. Other provisions strengthen investor protection by: limiting exchange ownership for any one industry or business group (including brokers) to 20 percent; codifying the full disclosure approach to the regulation of public offerings; tightening rules on insider trading; segregating broker-dealer functions; outlining rules on mandatory tender offer requirements; significantly increasing sanctions for violations of securities laws and regulations; and mandating steps to improve the internal management of the stock exchange and future securities exchanges.
