MANILA - Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas-regulated institutions and related firms can now test and offer in a controlled environment some innovative products that may eventually be useful for the domestic financial system.

The central bank "has always championed responsible innovation since we see it as a catalyst to promote efficiency in the financial system and expand financial inclusion," according to Bangko Sentral Governor Felipe Medalla.
