Abstract: This paper aims to explore ownership networks of publicly listed financial institutions in the Philippines. It covers the second phase of a research project on financial networks and builds on the analyses conducted in Tabuga et al. (2024), which aims to provide an understanding of the underlying network structure that may influence financial sector development and stability in the Philippines. The current paper further expounds on the connections examined in the first paper—focusing on the extent of financial institutions’ networks in other sectors and assessing the roles of connections within the network. In this report, the network illustrating ownership and investment relationships has been expanded to include entities with relatively smaller shares, emphasizing the possible importance of weaker ties. By identifying the sectors and subsectors of nodes in the network, this paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of the extent of the network of the country’s publicly listed financial institutions. Furthermore, it seeks to draw insights that may be valuable for policy formulation and financial supervision/regulation. Comments on this paper are welcome within 60 days from the date of posting.
