Philippine stock market lost 9% in January 2008
If you placed money in the Philippine stock market from the beginning of January this year, you would have already lost 9% by now.
That translates to a million pesos worth only P910,000 as of January 31.
This is based on the performance of the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi), a basket of 30 listed common stocks representing the overall movement of market prices and the general state of the Philippine economy.
