Abstract:Forex trading rises in the Philippines, driven by education initiatives from FBS Markets. Trends hint at a potential future regulating of Forex
MANILA - In the world of online foreign exchange (forex) trading, the Philippines is emerging as a promising hub of activity. FBS Markets Inc., a prominent international forex broker based in Belize, is reinforcing its commitment to bolster financial literacy among its user base, a mission that seems particularly relevant to the growing cadre of Filipino traders.
The company reported a marked surge in trading activities originating from the Philippines, now ranking within the top five territories in terms of user engagement on their platform over the previous year.
The driving force behind this surge in interest can be attributed to an array of factors. Key among them is the strong emphasis on financial education by brokerages like FBS. Ksenia Molodkina, FBS's strategic marketing director, confirmed this during a recent press conference.
“There's an undeniably burgeoning interest in forex trading from our users in Southeast Asia,” said Molodkina. “In fact, our Filipino users' trading volumes have swelled by 2.6 times since 2020.”
The performance of the local currency has also played a role. Recent predictions from the Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC) indicated a narrowed exchange rate estimate for the Philippine peso to the U.S. dollar in 2023, ranging between 54:$1 to 57:$1. The previous estimate was 53:$1 to 57:$1. They expect this stability to continue through 2028, with the peso's resilience hinging on consistent forex inflows and robust international reserves.
This evolving landscape offers fertile ground for FBS to bolster its mission. Molodkina affirmed the company's dedication to arming traders with the most relevant tools and educational resources to enhance their trading skills. “Our objective is to empower every individual as they strive to reach their financial goals,” she said.
Traders in the Philippines, along with their Southeast Asian counterparts, show an increasing interest in diverse investment opportunities, showing a particular preference for forex and metal trading.
FBS has been proactive in accommodating these trends. The company has prioritized the promotion of financial literacy and education. The FBS Trader and FBS Professional Area smartphone apps have integrated educational sections to provide traders with easy access to resources that can help improve their trading skills anytime, anywhere.
Moreover, recognizing the value of shared knowledge and engagement, FBS is reinstating free online webinars that feature professional traders. This is yet another step in their comprehensive commitment to promoting financial literacy.

While the regulating of forex brokers in the Philippines has yet to happen, the actions of brokerages like FBS could play a pivotal role in shaping future regulatory decisions, given the growing interest and the clear economic benefits forex trading offers to Filipino citizens.
