This is why we have spearheaded the drafting of a National Financial Inclusion Strategy, to bring together the financial inclusion work in other government agencies, interested NGOs 4  BIS central bankers’ speeches  and the private sector into a comprehensive, holistic plan. We hope to be able to launch this year.
As a result of these initiatives, the Philippines has been recognized as having one of the most conducive regulatory environments for financial inclusion. I hope that in the last 25 minutes or so, I have been able to paint a fair picture of the economy as we move forward in the context of the global environment we operate in.
