Remolona cited anew as one of the world’s best central bank governors

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Eli Remolona Jr. has once again been named one of the world’s best central bank governors, earning an “A-” rating in Global Finance magazine’s Central Banker Report Cards 2025. This is his second consecutive year on the prestigious list.

The report card evaluates central bankers from nearly 100 countries, assigning grades from A+ (highest) to F (lowest), based on their performance in inflation control, economic growth, currency stability, interest rate management, and independence.

“We thank Global Finance for recognizing the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ efforts in keeping prices stable, the financial system sound, and payments running smoothly. This recognition is really a credit to the entire BSP team and their commitment to our mandates,” Remolona said in a statement Thursday.

Remolona shares the “A-” rating with central bank heads from Cambodia, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia, European Union, Guatemala, Mongolia, Serbia, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, and Uganda.

Global Finance founder and editorial director Joseph Giarraputo said the annual report cards honor central bankers who have delivered results “with independence, discipline, and strategic foresight.”
