Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Eli M. Remolona Jr. has received an A- rating in Global Finance magazine’s Central Banker Report Cards 2026, marking his third consecutive year earning a distinction from the international publication.
Remolona was among 25 central bank governors worldwide who received ratings in the A range this year.
The recognition was presented during an awarding ceremony in Bangkok, Thailand, on October 17, alongside the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings.
What the rating recognizes
Global Finance’s Central Banker Report Cards assess central bank governors on their performance in areas such as inflation control, economic growth, currency stability, and interest-rate management.
The ratings recognize central bank leaders for their efforts to maintain economic and financial stability, although the distinction does not by itself measure how these policies affect individual households.
The BSP's responsibilities include keeping prices stable, maintaining a sound financial system, and supporting sustainable economic growth.
The third consecutive A- rating gives Remolona continued international recognition as the central bank navigates inflation pressures, interest-rate decisions, and developments affecting the Philippine economy.
