REVIEW OF MONETARY AND BANKING POLICY MAINTENANCE OF A REASONABLE LEVEL OF INTERNATIONAL RESERVES: -the main concern of the monetary authorities during the period 1949-1960 was to maintain a reasonable level of international reserves. To preserve the international value of the peso, the old Central Bank of the Philippines instituted various import and foreign exchange controls.
PROMOTION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: -in the 1960’s, there was an increase in money supply by about 13 percent. As a result, consumer price index rose to 14 percent. Such inflationary tendencies prompted the old Central Bank to increase its reserve requirement and rediscount rate to check the growth of money supply. MAINTENANCE OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL MONETARY STABILITY: -in view of the growth of the financial system, especially with the rise of new forms of financial intermediaries, the Central Bank Act was amended in 1972. the old Central Bank of the Philippines has been given another job as the central monetary authority.
