  • BSP Gov Medalla said after hours Friday that the central bank has been "very active" in the FX market to curb peso volatility. He said monetary policy will be guided by inflation dynamics rather than FX market developments, but Bangko Sentral "will not allow excessive changes in the exchange rate." Separately, the central bank said it may tighten FX transaction reporting regulations as part of its efforts to limit peso volatility.
