BIZ BUZZ: Coming soon: New BSP deputy
The financial supervision unit of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is about to witness a changing of the guard—and the buzz in the halls is impossible to ignore.
As Deputy Governor Chuchi Fonacier gears up for her much-deserved retirement after a distinguished career leading the central bank’s Financial Supervision Sector, industry watchers are already placing bets on her likely successor. And one name keeps coming up: Assistant Governor Lyn Javier.
Now heading the BSP’s Policy and Specialized Supervision Sub-Sector, Javier is a very strong candidate. She oversees a portfolio that spans everything from treasury and trust operations to money laundering controls, IT oversight and supervisory policy—a seriously powerful résumé that has people saying she’s more than ready to step up to the “DG” title.
And here’s a fun fact: save for a brief stint with media giant ABS-CBN, Javier is a BSP talent through and through.
She started her career at the central bank after leaving the University of the Philippines, where she earned her BS in Business Administration and Accountancy. Since then, she has climbed the ranks steadily, leveling up with MBA degree from the Ateneo Graduate School of Business along the way.
With her deep institutional knowledge and broad regulatory experience, it’s no wonder there’s chatter about her next big move. Watch this space.
