BSP guv Delivers ‘Ulat ng BSP sa Bayan’

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Benjamin E. Diokno (above) underscored that digitalization has kept the gears of the economy running amid the pandemic in the “Ulat ng BSP sa Bayan” he delivered from the Philippine International Convention Center.

“Digitalization is among a few things that helped us continue with our daily lives during the pandemic,” Governor Diokno said in his speech.

“The current crisis has given us an opportunity to think out of the box and be bold, as we work to protect the interests of the people we serve,” he added.

Themed, “Ibangon natin ang ekonomiya, i-digital mo na!,” the report was transmitted through an online platform and was also viewed by stakeholders via the BSP’s social media page.

“Ulat” also served as a venue for the launch of BSP’s books, “BSP Unbound: Central Banking and the COVID 19 Pandemic” and “No One Left Behind: the Philippine Financial Inclusion Journey.”

BSP conveyed the “Ulat” in keeping with the central bank’s annual reception for the banking community. In line with this, the Governor led the traditional toast for the virtual version of the gathering that is also attended by the diplomatic corps, leaders from the public and private sectors, and the media.
