Fortunately, technology has moved forward to allow us to fill gaps in time and space. Some time back, the BSP entered into a partnership with market stakeholders on the National Settlement Highway. The NSH is the technological backbone that will allow the public to efficiently clear and settle good funds across entities in different regions.
More recently, the FI-BIOS was launched to provide retail investors in different regions with the capability to place investment orders on real time basis. These are the type of technological innovations that help us address the unique situation of the Philippines. I trust that we can maximize the use of such facilities and make further innovations where needed.
