MONETARY POLICIES
An economic policy is a course of action that is intended to influence or
control the behavior of the economy.
The coins issued under the system bore the designs of Filipino engraver and artist, Melecio
Figueroa. Coins in denomination of one-half centavo to one peso were minted. The
renaming of El Banco Espanol Filipino to Bank of the Philippine Islands in 1912 paved the
way for the use of English from Spanish in all notes and coins issued up to 1933. Beginning
May 1918, treasury certificates replaced the silver certificates series, and a one-peso note
was added.
The Japanese Occupation
1942-1945
The outbreak of World War II caused serious disturbances in the
Philippine monetary system. Two kinds of notes circulated in the
country during this period. The Japanese Occupation Forces issued war
notes in big denominations. Provinces and municipalities, on the other
hand, issued their own guerrilla notes or resistance currencies, most of
which were sanctioned by the Philippine government in-exile, and
partially redeemed after the war.
With the establishment of the Central Bank of the Philippines in 1949, the first currencies issued
were the English series notes printed by the Thomas de la Rue & Co., Ltd. in England and the coins
minted at the US Bureau of Mint.
The Filipinization of the Republic coins and paper money began in the late 60's and is carried through
to the present. In the 70's, the Ang Bagong Lipunan (ABL) series notes were circulated, which were
printed at the Security Printing Plant starting 1978. A new wave of change swept through the
Philippine coinage system with the flora and fauna coins initially issued in 1983. These series featured
national heroes and species of flora and fauna. The new design series of banknotes issued in 1985
replaced the ABL series. Ten years later, a new set of coins and notes were issued carrying the logo of
the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
As the repository and custodian of country's numismatic heritage, the Museo ng Bangko Sentral ng
Pilipinas collects, studies and preserves coins, paper notes, medals, artifacts and monetary items
found in the Philippines during the different historical periods. It features a visual narration of the
development of the Philippine economy parallel to the evolution of its currency.
CURRENCY IN CIRCULATION
MONEY SUPPLY: M1
M1 is sometimes referred to as the narrow definition of the money supply or as
transactions money. It is money that can be directly used for everyday
transactions. M1 consists of currency held outside banks (by members of public
for use in everyday transactions), checkable deposits, and traveler’s checks.
Currency in circulations are coins and paper money in the hands of the
public
A traveler's check is a prepaid fixed amount that operates like cash that a
purchaser can use to buy goods or services when traveling. A customer
can exchange a traveler's check anywhere for cash. Major financial
service financial institutions issue traveler's checks, and banks and credit
unions sell them.
MONEY SUPPLY: M2
M2 is commonly referred to as the broad definition of the money supply. It is
made up of M1 plus savings deposits (including money market deposit
accounts), small denomination time deposits, and money market mutual
funds.
MONEY SUPPLY: M4
M4 - consists of M3 plus transferable and other deposits in foreign
currency.
DEMAND FOR MONEY
1. TRANSACTION DEMAND FOR MONEY – to settle business deals
between people or use to pay for goods and services
2. PRECAUTIONARY DEMAND FOR MONEY – use of money for sudden
or emergency / unexpected expenditures such as medical or car repair bills,
which often require immediate payment. The need to have money available
in such situations is referred to as the precautionary motive for demanding
money
3. SPECULATIVE DEMAND FOR MONEY – Money, like other stores of
value, is an asset. The demand for an asset depends on both its rate of
return and its opportunity cost. Typically, money holdings provide no rate
of return and often depreciate in value due to inflation. The opportunity cost
of holding money is the interest rate that can be earned by lending or
investing one's money holdings. The speculative motive for demanding
money arises in situations where holding money is perceived to be less
risky than the alternative of lending the money or investing it in some other
asset.
