NEW CENTRAL BANK ACT
9/18/19
⚫ Before the enactment of the New Central Bank Act, what do you call the predecessor
of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas?
Answer: Central Bank of the Philippines/Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
One of the objectives of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas is to promote and maintain
price stability conducive to a balance and sustainable economic growth.
What is price stability?
If you have a stable price, that means the purchasing power of the Philippines peso is
protected. You avoid extra ordinary inflation. When the inflation is ordinary as the years go
by, you will experience “appreciation” in the values of properties. And as the properties
increase in its value, it necessarily carries a consequent change in prices.
A stable price is something you can foresee. Therefore, you don’t need to buy in big
volume now because you know, you can buy it at the same price in the next months/years.
The danger of not having a stable prices, triggers shopping spree.
What is the best indicator of price stability?
Answer: The consumer price index.
(What does it refer?) “Consumer price index refers to goods and services which can be
found in a basket. Para bang pag ikaw ay namimili, sabi nga kanina, meron kang 1
thousand, kapag namili ka, anong value ng 1k mo, tig iisang kilong ng asukal, bigas,
kasama na yung pampa-spa.”
When the price index can no longer refer to same quantity of goods and services that it
represents in a particular year, the price index is now suffering from what you call as
inflation. When there is inflation the purchasing power of the currency of the legal tender
suffers.
How do you think the Bangko Sentral can address the Inflation?
- through Monetary Policy.
⚫ Monetary Policy as the word suggests, refers to money. So any policy that deals with
the stability of the Philippines peso, that deals with inflation and deflation and
interest rate.
◼ Any policy devoted to money, interests for the use or proverance of money, supply of
money.
When you allow the supply of money to become excessive more than the economy
needs, there will be inflation.
⚫ Fiscal Policy refers to budgeting, spending, revenues and
taxation.
(Spending/borrowing.)
Fiscal Policy is not a so function of the Bangko Sentral.
What is revenue?
Answer: Anything paid to the government is revenue. Can be in the form of taxes, in
form of price and penalties.
Bangko Sentral is the one that maintains the stability not only of the price, but the
stability of money and its convertibility.
(What do you mean by convertibility?) “convertibility simply means the conversion or
power of the Philippines peso to become attractive and acceptable to other currency in the
International Monetary Market.”
International Currency (US Dollars, Euro Dollars)
- When you say international currency, the convertibility of the currency is
accessible to almost all countries.
In what stage of the
business cycle do
you expect inflation?
◆ During the stage of Prosperity.
⚫ When the economy is at its peak, it has no direction but to go down.
⚫ When the Recession cannot be aborted or controlled, it will go to drought.
⚫ From that drought, you have no other way but to go up/move up to Recovery.
For you to appreciate stable price, when you are in a period of recession (bumababa), that is
when the Bangko Sentral performs its objective. It will come up with a Monetary Policy.
The responsibility of Bangko Sentral is to provide policy direction in the areas of money,
banking, and credit.
- The job of the Bangko Sentral is very technical one, that is why the law empowers the
Monetary Board to become the policy maker of the reporting in the area of money,
banking and credit.
- Policy pertains of set of standards that needs to be followed.
- Under the law, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas shall have Fiscal and Administrative
Autonomy.
⚫ If you allow the Congress or even the President to interfere with the operations of the
Bangko Sentral, it will be politicized. (Politics will come into play.)
⚫ The highest paid public officials are the employees of Bangko Sentral.
What is money?
◆ Money refers to anything that can be used as a medium of payment.
Example: If a chalk is accepted as a medium of payment, chalk is the medium
of payment, which is money. But in layman’s language, when you talk about a
money, it is the currency.
What is banking?
◆ Banking refers not only to financial institutions. When you are authorized to
received deposit and lend that deposit to the public, then you a become a bank.
The Bangko Sentral does not only control money, and not only banking activities. It also
controls the banking activities and credit transactions. What is credit?
◆ Credit is the ability/capacity of a person to acquire goods and services without
immediate payment but with a promised payment at a determinable future time.
◼ Why credit?
You may not have money and still you can venture into a business if you have a good
credit standing.
Clean loan - obtain loan from a bank without collateral.
Secured loan - obtain loan from a bank with collateral.
Banks are not allowed to grant loans to the public exceeding 75% of the assessed
value of the collateral and 60% of the improvement.
(The law set the policy and the Bangko Sentral is the one who implements it.)
Behest loans - is when bank grants loan beyond what the law allows.
When behest loans are allowed to proliferate, what do you think will happen to the
banking industries? It will collapse.
When the banking industry in any economy collapses, the government will also
collapse.
“When the government loans treasury bills, they are very careful in the interest payments of
the bills.”
Example: Safest investment to make for your 1Million is to invest in Treasury Bills
because T-bills is the liability of Republic of the Philippines through BSP.
T BILLS IS AS GOOD AS CASH.
9/20/19 What
is the policy direction of BSP?
❖ Monetary policy
➢ it deals with the flow and control of money
➢ simply determines on the part of the BSP whether they will raise it or just keep it is
There are 3 monetary instruments that the BSP can effectively use in order to attain its
objective of maintaining price stability which is conducive to sustainable and balance
economic growth:
A. Open market operation
➢ refers to the buying by BSP of commercial instruments or money market instruments
issued by government of the Philippines or the private commercial banks
➢ the purpose of it is to restrict the volume of money that can be done when you buy
government bonds and when you buy securities issued by LGU’s
➢ when the money has been spent to the purpose those benefits will stay with the BSP and
control of its asset
B. Discount rate
❖ refers to the rate of interest which the BSP charges to the banking institution of debt
advances to correct the liquidity problems of banking industry.
Liquidity problems
❖ you must assist, you must support, and you must help the banking industry to abort
panic withdrawals of depositing public
When a banking institution can’t meet its liabilities as it matures in a normal course of
business, it can be placed under receivership but if the reason why the bank is unable to
respond to the withdrawals of its depositors that will result in panic withdrawals then, and
it can’t be placed under receivership
To prevent panic withdrawals, the BSP opens the functions of lenders of bank Who
can lend money to the banks?
❖ BSP
Where did the BSP can get that money that lends to the bank?
❖ Reserve requirements
C. Reserve requirements
➢ it represents the ratio of deposits and certain amount to be deposited with the BSP
➢ when u raise the reserve requirements, it makes the banks need to deposit more money
to the BSP interest free and when the banks need money to solve liquidity their
problem the BSP will lend portion of legal reserve that the banking industry and on
that basis it will now be determined the current rate of interest
➢ pag pinauatang ng BSP ang bangko mula sa deposito ng lahat ng mga bangko na
tinatawag na legal reserve bababa ang legal reserve ng BSP
➢ determines by daily deposit balance and therefore as u increase your balance you will
also increase the balance of BSP and it will result to ideal reserve
➢ simply refers to the ratio between ratio or reserve in the bank get by the BSP
➢ Unless you control money supply, control interest rate, ideal reserve from, you will
never attain stable prices and economic growth.
➢ When you don’t have stable price and economic growth, the economy becomes
stagnant. And when the economy remains stagnant, those who are unemployed will
remain unemployed forever
➢ when you achieve stable pricing, you achieve economic growth necessarily that will
result to low unemployment or full employment

stable. if the prices are not stable, people will spend more. and there will be shortage
• OPEC headed by Saudi Arabia when they want to raise prices, they cut down their
volume of production
• When a bank gives all of its money to the public, it will collapse. And when the banking
institution collapses the economy will collapse.

Open Market Operation – activities of Bangko Central on buying and selling government
securities
When do you think the Bangko Sentral will buy and sell? When the volume of money in the
economy is exceeding the desirable volume, then Bangko Sentral must result to what? Buying
or selling government securities?
• You cannot maintain stable prices unless you control the flow of money because when
there is an oversupply of money, the tendency is, for the Purchasing Power, the
currency to depreciate. Why? Maraming pera eh. So, to contract/to reduce/ to regulate
the volume of money in the market. What will be the appropriate act to be done in the
Open Market Operation? To buy or Sell?
• When Bangko Sentral buys, that i means money close into the economy, when
Bangko Sentral sell that means money close to the Bangko Sentral.
How does the money market operation work?
➢ Diba kapag ikaw ay nagbenta, ano tinatanggap mo? Bayad. Pag tumaggap ng bayad,
magkakaron ka ng pera. Kung marami ka namang pera, bumibili ka naman. Kapag
bumili ka, mababawasan ang pera mo.
When the money become excessive/ the volume of money become excessive the Bangko
Sentral will sell or will buy?
If the Bangko Sentral buys, sino ang tatanggap ng pera?
➢ Financial Institutions, because they are the ones that underwrite the transactions.
When the government sells securities, sino ang bibili?
➢ Banks, through their clients
◼ Example: Treasury Bills, magbebenta ang government, that is government security.
It will now be underwritten by almost all of the commercial banks.
Situation: You are a client, you have a checking account with PNB, you will draw a check in
the amount of the value of the securities you want to purchase, so your deposit with the bank
will be depleted. Where will it go? To the Bangko Sentral.
In the reverse manner the flow of money is below of the standard level.
How do you think the Bangko Sentral will increase?
➢ It will not just print money, it will not just mint coins. This time they will be the one
who will buy. So that the money in Bank reserve,
▪ Bank reserves- portion of the deposits by the public with all banks, which the
banks deposits to the Bangko Sentral with no interest. The purpose of that is
to avoid a situation where the banks could no longer meet its liabilities as it
matures in the normal course of business.
Ang bangko sentral hindi naman agad magpprint ng pera, dahil ang mga bangko it changes
depending on the average daily deposit balance. Let’s say kapag nagdeposit ka sa bangko.
That money is recorded in the balance sheet under liabilities, why?
➢ It is the liability of the Bangko Sentral to pay to the bank in the form of withdrawal,
but actually the bank will not withdraw, the bank will borrow.
Discount Rate- lending of money by BSP to the banks.
➢ The rate of interest is usually determine by the rates BSP charge the Banks whenever
the banks make cash advance to the bank
Ano yung money na pinapahiram ng Bangko Sentral?
➢ Yung pera ng commercial banks. So yung perang nasa bangko sentral, ilalabas. Pag
sila bumili ng securities, naglalabas sila ng pera. Pag nagpahiram ng pera sa mga
bangko under discount rate monetary instrument, naglalabas din ng pera.
So yung discount rate and money market operations, ang Intermediate result
➢ They regulate the volume of money
➢ They control interest rate
• Dahil kapag ang mga bangko nagdedeposit sa bangko sentral by virtue of Legal reserve
requirements…
Legal reserve requirements – refers to certain percentage of deposits which must be
deposited by the banks with the Bangko Sentral.
3 INSTRUMENT TOOLS wc the Bangko Sentral can pursue to be able to maintain
stable prices;
➢ Open market Operation
➢ Discount Rate
➢ Legal reserve requirements
So the Intermediate Result;
➢ Control of money supply
➢ Control of interest rate
➢ Control/ Maintenance of desire reserve requirements
If nakuha mo na lahat, it can lead to stable prices, low unemployment and rapid growth of
real GDP.
➢ Real GDP – Actual improvement Situation:
If the Philippine Economy Generated REVENUE 1000 in 2018 then 2019 increased to 1500,
you have 50% growth and that’s what you called the Real GDP, tatawagin yang nominal.
Nominal – basehan is revenue
Economic Growth - refers to GDP that means volume of goods and services produced by a
country
• In computing GDP growth , we include not only good and services produced by
Filipinos but also we include produced by foreigners.
You cannot say that the best base of Economic Growth is GDP, not GNP.
Gross National Product – what you record is the volume of goods and services produced by
the citizens of the country
• When we compute our GNP, it is not realistic dahil maraming foreign investors sa
pilipinas. Dahil di mo yun sasama sa computation ng GNP Mga isasama sa GNP (Do
not forget!!)
➢ Services paid to universities
➢ All other private citizens
➢ Juridical persons own 100% by Filipino
Reason why the Bangko sentral determines the ratio of Legal Reserve
➢ Kapag hindi ka nag maintain ng legal reserve, ang gagawin ng bangko , lahat ng
deposited money ay ipapautang niya. So ang mangyayari mawawalan sila ng
ipangsasagot sa withdrawals. Kapag hindi na na honor ng Bangko yung liabilities sa
depositing public magkakaroon ng panic withdrawal.
Panic withdrawal (bank cram) – refers to simultaneous withdrawal by all the depositors and
no bank in the whole world can meet simultaneous withdrawals by its depositors.
The ratio of Legal reserves changes day to day, ang basehan is AVERAGE DAILY
DEPOSIT BALANCE
San kumukuha ang bangko sentral ng advances?
➢ sa reserves ng malalaking bangko.
If your ADB ay laging mataas, it means you are doing well
Receivership
• If the bank is placed under Receivership, the Central Bank Acts provides, you cannot
appoint any person as a conservator unless that person has competence in the field of
banking and finance.
• In receivership , the PDIC (Philippine Insurance Deposit Corporation) is always the
receiver of Banks under Receivership
Receiver – receives asset
▪ A receiver makes a report, within 3 months the receiver determine if the bank
has the chance of revival, if there is no chance of revival, it will proceed to
liquidation.
DOSRI ACCOUNT OF BANGKO SENTRAL
DIRECTOR – members of the board
OFFICERS – executive, branch manager, president, vice president, assistant
STOCKHOLDER – owns shares of company's stocks
RELATED INTEREST – asawa ng director, manager, officer, stockholder, common law
partner. Usually up to 4th civil degree.
➢ When a bank transacts with DOSRI hindi pinagbabawal but what the Central Bank
Acts requires, such situation must be disclose to avoid conflict of interest.
Conflict of interest – there is a conflict of interest when you have a power over something
which involve your personal interest.
Liquid assets – Cash in bank
Solid assets – equipment, machineries; can be liquidated
Conservatorship – the bank or quasi-bank is in a state of continuing inability or
unwillingness to maintain a condition of liquidity.
➢ Ang isang bangko kapag ang balance sheet niyan ay puro solid assets, no liquid assets
at ayaw mag liquidate, when you liquidate solid assets it becomes money and it
becomes your liquid asset.
Current asset- cash in bank
Fixed asset – building , equipment
Liquidation- all asset converts into cash to pay liabilities ; last stage ; when the bank can no
longer maintain its liquidity, can no longer honor withdrawal. The banks can no longer meets
its liabilities
Dormant- becomes dormant when , no withdrawal and no deposit Dapat bank can always
honor withdrawal/ all the time.
10/2/19
Note: When the examining team can make a report of the monetary board that continuing
liability can no longer continue and unwilling to maintain conditional liquidity the monetary
board will assign a conservator.
