*  *  *  It is an honor and a great pleasure to participate in this High-Level Public-Private Sector Conference. I thank the organizers – the Institute of International Finance (IIF) and Australia as President of the G20 – for inviting me to this event.
For now, let us walk our talk by saying thank you to one another as fellow central bankers who work with patriotism, excellence, integrity, dynamism and solidarity, our guiding values here at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Together let us stand proud as BSPers who can truly make a difference in improving the lives of all Filipinos. Mabuhay ang Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas!
