                    [Summary] => Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Amando Tetangco Jr. said yesterday  that monetary authorities have taken several steps to promote the country’s microfinance industry. 


Tetangco was reacting to a US-based microfinance research group’s observation that the BSP  lacks  proper regulatory framework to develop the microfinance industry and mobilize savings . 


Microfinance Gateway, in a report called Philippine Country-Level Savings assessment, said there are other BSP regulations that hinder small savings mobilization by banks.
