The BSP's Domestic Roadshow

Last Monday, March 5th, I had the opportunity to attend the Philippine Economic Briefing or the so-called Domestic Roadshow sponsored by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).

In addition to being a participant, I also served as panelist along with the RDs/ARDs of other regional offices but we have not responded to any issues and concerns raised by the participants from the private sector, mostly from the banking industry as the resource speakers/presentors took up the cudgels.

Among the speakers was our own Secretary, Rolando "Nonoy" Andaya. The others are his co-members/representative of the Economic Team: Secretary Teves of the DOF, Secretary Favila of DTI, Usec Ocampo of DOE, Director Amador of BSP, and Director Valero of NEDA Region VI.

The speakers took turns in presenting the state of the Philippine economy for the year ended 2006, the fiscal and monetary policies being pushed to sustain the economic momentum, and where we are headed in the medium term. More on this in the next post.
