Espenilla’s portrait

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Benjamin Diokno (right) and former Governor Nestor Espenilla Jr.’s wife Maria Teresita lead the unveiling rites for the late governor’s portrait and bust at the BSP head office in Manila. A career central banker, Governor Nesting, as he is fondly called, succumbed to cancer on Feb. 23, 2019. Building on the foundations that Governor Espenilla put in place, the BSP has made great strides in digital transformation and financial inclusion.
