Felipe Medalla, Governor of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas – Asia House Central Bank Governors Series

Felipe Medalla, the Governor of the Philippines’ central monetary authority, will speak digitally with Asia House’s Corporate Members on 2 March on how Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is navigating global economic headwinds and supporting the Philippines’ ambitious growth agenda.

This event will officially launch the Asia House Central Bank Governors Series, a series of private briefings convening Central Bankers from key global markets with Asia House’s Corporate Members.  Central Bank Governors will speak off-the-record with senior representatives from Asia House’s corporate network, sharing insights on the various challenges faced by central banks and providing updates on their policy responses.

Having raised interest rates by 50 basis points to 6 per cent on 16 February, Governor Medalla will share the thinking behind this, and how Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas is managing inflationary pressures and global economic headwinds. With Asia House’s recent flagship research identifying the Philippines as an economic bright spot within the region, Governor Medalla will also discuss how the central bank is leveraging strong domestic demand to boost growth, and the significance of the Philippines’ Sustainable Central Banking Framework to achieving net zero.

This briefing is held online for Asia House Corporate Members and moderated by Asia House Chief Executive Michael Lawrence. To register interest, please email Edward Danks, Programme Associate: edward.danks@asiahouse.co.uk
