Duterte to name central bank chief

MANILA: President Rodrigo Duterte is set to name a new central bank governor soon, with either of his deputies “well-qualified” to take the job, said the finance minister. “I’m pretty sure the announcement will be made in a couple of days,” said Carlos Dominguez on the sidelines of the Asian Development Bank’s annual meeting, here. Candidates for the post include governor Amando Tetangco’s two deputies Nestor Espenilla and Diwa Guinigundo, former Monetary Board member Peter Favila and banker Antonio Moncupa.
