MANILA, Philippines – The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) named Zeno Ronald Abenoja as its new deputy governor for the Monetary and Economics Sector.
Abenoja was sworn in by BSP Governor Eli Remolona Jr. on Monday, May 19. He is tasked with leading the central bank’s monetary policy, economic research, and statistical operations.
He will replace former deputy governor Francisco Dakila Jr., who recently retired.
“The BSP is fortunate to have someone like Zeno, with his breadth of experience in economic policy and his depth of understanding monetary policy,” Remolona said.
Members of the Monetary Board also welcomed Abenoja’s appointment, describing him as a quiet but impactful economist.
“Zeno stands as a strong example to future public servants of what can be achieved through quiet dedication and mastery of one’s craft,” said former national treasurer Rosalia de Leon.
With over two decades of experience in economic policy and central banking, Abenoja was previously assistant governor of the Monetary Policy Sub-Sector. He also headed the BSP’s Department of Economic and Financial Learning Center.
Abenoja was also senior advisor to the executive director for the Southeast Asia Voting Group at the International Monetary Fund.
The Bangko Sentral’s new deputy governor holds a master’s degree in economics from the University of the Philippines and a master’s degree in public administration with a concentration in economic policy from Columbia University. – Rappler.com
