BSP’s main job is to make sure everything is financially healthy and the economy stays steady. They’re the big decision-makers when it comes to money matters.

In those pictures (Figure 6 and 7), they’re basically showing how BSP fits into the mix of different banks and financial groups. BSP’s main goal is to control the flow of money in the whole country. They want to keep things stable and help the country grow economically. It’s like they’re the captains steering the ship of the Philippines’ money matters.

Under BSP, you’ve got different types of banks – some are private, some are run by the government. Same goes for non-bank financial groups. BSP is like the coach, guiding these teams of banks to play well together. Ultimately, BSP’s big mission is to make life better for everyone by fighting poverty and making sure money works the best it can for the whole country. They use different tricks (monetary instruments) to control things like prices, investments, and how much people earn and spend. It’s all about making the country’s wallet stronger and helping it grow.
