"2020 will mark the start of a surge in finance and banking in Mindanao with Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas approval of initial regulations implementing the new Islamic Banking Law or Republic Act 11439," said House minority Rep. Lawrence Fortun of Agusan del Norte (1st District).
"With the new law and rules, the Islamic banks can soon reach out to the millions of 'unbanked' Filipinos. Most of the unbanked towns are in Mindanao," said the Mindanaoan solon from the CARAGA region, citing Bangko Sentral data. (

Fortun, a Member of the House Committee on Banks and Financial Intermediaries said, "the BSP was swift and
wise to approve the Islamic banking rules before yearend."
RA 11439 was signed into law last August 22.
"Foreign and local investors eyeing new investments in Islamic banking and finance now have the go-signal to move forward with their plans for Mindanao and cities where there are concentrations of Filipino Muslims and Muslim expatriates," Fortun said.
“RA 11439 is one significant legislative accomplishment for inclusive economy of the 17th Congress.â€
"Due credit goes to the late BSP Governor Nestro Espenilla Jr. for initiating the measure and lobbying for its passage by the 17th Congress,†Fortun said. (END)
