The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is reported to have begun the search and selection process for two deputy governors positions to head its Monetary and Economics Sector (MES) and Financial Supervision Sector (FSS). The vacancies arise as Francisco Dakila Jr. and Chuchi Fonacier prepare for their retirements later this year.
The MES deputy governor will handle key aspects of monetary policy, including formulation, implementation, and evaluation. This role also covers economic research, international monetary affairs, and the supervision of loans and credit.
Meanwhile, the FSS deputy governor will oversee the regulation and supervision of banks and other financial institutions. He or she will be focusing on prudential policy, credit information, and compliance assessments.
Applicants for these roles must meet stringent qualifications, including a master’s degree or equivalent leadership certification. This also includes significant experience in management and financial supervision.
The Deputy Governors candidates who want to work under BSP must also have at least 15 years of relevant professional experience, with five years in managerial roles required. Additionally, candidates should have completed 120 hours of leadership training.
Dakila, who has been with the BSP since 2019 as MES deputy governor, previously served as assistant governor for the Monetary Policy Sub-Sector. His extensive academic background includes a doctorate in economics from the University of the Philippines.
Fonacier, on the other hand, began her career at BSP in 1984, rising through the ranks to lead the FSS in 2017. She has played a significant role in the resolution of banking issues and the development of programs to strengthen rural and cooperative banking.
The BSP encourages qualified individuals to apply through its online platform, with details available in its official announcements.
