INSTRUMENTS
Rediscounting
This refers to transactions whereby the BSP extends credit to a bank collateralized by its loan papers
with customers.
This Instrument plays a dual role; as a tool to allocate credit to preferred sectors of the economy and
as an instrument to influence the supply of money and credit.
Rediscounting Rate is the interest rate charged by the BSP to the banks that borrow from them.
Reserve Requirement
This is the minimum amount of reserves that bank must hold against deposits.
The reserve requirements which are held by banks as cash in their vaults and deposits with the BSP,
help to control the money and credit by affecting the demand for money reserves and the money
multiplier.
It serves as a prudential safeguard for depositors.
Direct Controls
This consist of quantitative and qualitative limits on the ability of banks to undertake certain
activities.
The most common type of direct controls include limitations on aggregate bank lending, selective
limitations on certain types of banks lending and interest rate regulations.
Moral Suasion
The BSP persuade banks to make their lending policies responsive to the needs of the economy.
Banks must tighten their credit programs in times of inflation and loosen them in times of recession.
