MANILA, April 26 (Reuters) - The Philippines' central bank
will continue supporting the economy, which remains
fundamentally sound despite the ongoing pandemic, its governor
said on Monday.
The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the economy will be
transitory, central bank governor Benjamin Diokno told an
economic forum. The Philippine economy slumped a record 9.6% in
2020 because of lengthy and tight coronavirus curbs.
