The change of power in the Philippines has been accompanied by a changing of the guard in the financial ranks. Benjamin Diokno, the former governor of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the Philippine central bank, is now secretary of finance. Felipe Medalla is his replacement.
Medalla is an economist, ex-officio chairman of the Anti-Money Laundering Council and a former director-general of the National Economic and Development Authority under the Joseph Estrada administration. He spoke with media, including Euromoney, during a briefing from Manila at the end of June.
