Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Eli Remolona, Jr. has been recognized for the second consecutive year as one of the world’s top central bank governors.
The BSP received an “A-” rating in the Global Finance magazine’s Central Banker Report Cards 2025.
In a statement Thursday, the BSP said the report evaluates central bankers from nearly 100 countries, grading them from A+, the highest, to F, the lowest. Ratings are based on inflation control, economic growth, currency stability, interest rate management, and independence.
“We thank Global Finance for recognizing the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ efforts in keeping prices stable, the financial system sound, and payments running smoothly. This recognition is really a credit to the entire BSP team and their commitment to our mandates,” Remolona said.
Remolona joins central bank leaders from Cambodia, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia, European Union, Guatemala, Mongolia, Serbia, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, and Uganda in receiving an A- rating.
“Our annual Central Banker Report Cards recognize those leaders who have not only delivered results but done so with independence, discipline, and strategic foresight,” Global Finance founder and editorial director Joseph Giarraputo said.
