N THE DEPOSIT EXPANSION AND
MONEY SUPPLY
CENTRAL BANK – a financial institution vested by the State with the function of regulating the supply, cost and use of money with a view to promoting national and international economic stability and welfare. DEVELOPMENT OF THE BANGKO SENTRALNG PILIPNAS The central bank of countries within the region of Southeast Asia are comparatively young having been established mostly only after the end of the Second World War. The Philippines, a young nation, is not an exception. It established its central bank only on January 3, 1949, The concept of a central bank was developed in 1933 by Miguel Cuaderno, the first governor of the Central Bank of the Philippines. The Central Bank of the Philippines was patterned after similar central banks established in Paraguay and Guatemala, two countries which, like the Philippnes have the same export economies. The Central Bank of the Philippines came to existence as a result of the approval by the former President Elpdio Qurino pf Republic Act No. 265, otherwise known as the “Central Bank Act” on June 15, 1948. However, actual operations did not commence until January 3, 1949 when the bank open its doors for business in the old Intendencia Building located at Intramuros, Manila. With the accumulation of losses incurred by the Central Bank, P317B as of December 1992, there emerged the CMA bill to transform the Central Bank into Central Monetary Authority. This CMA bill is also in response to a call of the International monetary Bank and World Bank to ease the foreign debt burden and strengthen the credit standing of the Philippines. And then when the CMA law also known as “The New Central Bank Act” took effect on June 14, 1993 there is established an independent Central Monetary Authority which is known as the “Bangko Sentral ng PilipInas” and has a capital of P50 billion.
