BSP chief says interest rate cut to come before easing the reserve requirement
By JON VIKTOR D. CABUENAS, GMA News
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Benjamin Diokno on Wednesday hinted on the possibility of reducing the reserve requirement ratio further, but noted that a cut in interest rates will have to first be in place.
“Palagay ko mauuna ‘yung interest rate cut bago mag-reserve requirement,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the 2019 Awards Ceremony for BSP Stakeholders at the central bank headquarters.
He was asked if a further cut in the reserve requirement ratio—the amount of cash a bank must hold in reserve against deposits made by customers—could be cut further in the coming months.
