Binati ni House Ways and Means Chair at Albay Representative Dr. Eli Remolona na itinalaga ni Pang. Ferdinand Marcos Jr., bilang bagong Governor ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) kapalit ni Governor Felipe Medalla na magtatapos na ang kaniyang termino sa July.
“I congratulate Dr. Eli Remolona for his appointment as Governor of the BSP. Dr. Remolona has formidable experience in modern central banking, from his stint in the Bank of International Settlements and from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. His appointment was widely expected by many in the banking and finance sectors, and is welcome news,” pahayag ni Salceda.
Ayon kay Rep. Salceda ang pagtalaga kay Dr. Remolona ay dapat ding maghudyat ng katapatan ng bansa sa ilang mga pag-unlad sa central banking, tulad ng mga digital central bank currency at de-dollarization.
“Dr. Remolona was also involved in regulatory reform for much of his career, which signals a BSP that will likely continue to err on the side of caution when it comes to dealing with the banking sector,” dagdag pa ni Salceda.
Dagdag pa ng ekonomistang mambabatas, malamang na susubukan ng merkado ang direksyon ng polisiya ng bagong BSP Governor.
Umaasa si Salceda ang pagpapatuloy ng polisiya mula sa matagumpay na pagbabalanse ng aksiyon ni Gobernador Medalla upang maprotektahan ang piso nang hindi nauubos ang gross international reserves ng bansa.
Inihayag din ni Salceda na may mga hamong kahaharapin si Remolona sa sandaling maupo na ito sa puwesto.
Ito ay ang pag protekta sa bansa mula sa mga external shocks at ang mataas na preso ng mga pangunahing bilihin.
Pinasalamatan naman ni Salceda si Medalla sa kaniyang outstanding performance bilang BSP governor.
“Governor Medalla’s stint in the BSP was extremely successful, judging by the challenges he has had to surmount and the outcomes of his decisions. We were able to withstand the global tide of Fed hikes, investor uncertainty, and global market disruption because of his skillful steering of the BSP,” pahayag ni Salceda.
