Given these milestones, I will continue the legacy of my predecessors with focus on financial inclusion. I am glad that a number of critical laws were passed to support sustained financial inclusion. The enactment of republic Act (R.A.) No. 11055 or the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) in August 2018 provides Filipinos the means to establish a verifiable digital identity.
I am convinced that next year this conference will take place in calmer market conditions than in its two first editions. In the meantime I look forward to today’s interesting discussions and interventions. Many thanks for your attention. 6  BIS Review 118/2008
