The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and BDO Foundation have launched a new series of six e-learning modules aimed at enhancing financial literacy among Filipinos. This rollout completes their joint target of nine modules now hosted on the BSP E-Learning Academy platform.
The newly released modules focus on personal finance and economic policy topics, including Basics of Investing, Fraud and Scams, Digital Financial Literacy, and the BSP’s Role in the Economy. These complement an earlier 2024 release covering Financial Planning, Budgeting and Saving, and Debt Management.
BSP Governor Eli Remolona Jr. emphasized the central bank’s responsibility in promoting economic understanding among the public. “To make people understand policies better, institutions like the BSP should communicate more clearly and effectively,” he said, highlighting financial education as key to fostering informed financial decisions and a more inclusive economy.
The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), the first agency to integrate the initial module batch into its online platform, plans to adopt the latest set as well. The modules will soon be rolled out through additional partner institutions to expand reach.
BDO Foundation president Mario Deriquito reaffirmed the foundation’s long-term commitment to financial inclusion, aligning with the BSP’s National Strategy for Financial Inclusion.
The initiative underscores a broader economic policy effort to empower citizens with knowledge, promote trust in financial systems, and support inclusive economic development.
