The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has clarified that bank customers can withdraw more than PHP 500,000 in cash if they provide documentation proving the transaction’s legitimate purpose.

The statement comes as officials address concerns that the new cash cap may have contributed to the country’s recent economic slowdown.

In a press release issued on Tuesday, the BSP explained that the limit, implemented via Circular No. 1218 in September, applies only to cash withdrawals.

Non-cash transactions, such as cheques and online transfers, are exempt from additional requirements. For cash withdrawals exceeding the threshold, customers must present proof, such as a deed of sale or hospital bill.

Separately, BSP Deputy Governor Zeno Ronald R. Abenoja dismissed suggestions that the policy dampened third-quarter GDP growth, which slowed to a four-year low of 4%.

Speaking to reporters, Abenoja noted the timing of the circular meant its impact was likely not reflected in the data.

Some analysts believe the regulation’s economic impact will be “modest” due to the prevalence of digital transactions. However, Union Bank of the Philippines Chief Economist Ruben Carlo O. Asuncion warned it could burden cash-dependent sectors.

The withdrawal ceiling was introduced as an anti-money laundering measure following a corruption scandal involving flood control projects.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
