At the start of 2023, an international debt watcher reported that the Philippines is among the few countries that will see a decline in their debt stock “by several percentage points” based on projected high nominal GDP growth.
Sa simula ng 2023, iniulat ng isang international debt watcher na ang Pilipinas ay kabilang sa ilang mga bansa na makakakita ng pagbaba sa kanilang debt stock “ng ilang percentage points” batay sa inaasahang mataas na nominal GDP growth.
Kabilang sa mga unang nagpahayag ng mga reserbasyon sa panukalang Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF) bill, si Bangko Sentral Governor Felipe Medalla ay sumama sa iba pang economic managers sa pagsulong ng batas nito, na nagsasabing ito ay isang "sinubukan at nasubok" na investment vehicle for growth. Ito ay nangangailangan ng konteksto.

In 2012, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said images of a P150 banknote with Jose Rizal's face is “fictitious.”
The charges were filed based on a fake document that allegedly allowed the Aquino admin to deposit and ship 3,500 metric tons of gold to Thailand.
A Facebook video claims that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has in storage tons of gold owned by the late President Ferdinand Marcos, Sr. This is a myth.
An officer from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said the circulating banknote design was "edited."
While some people pointed out that the post was a parody, many netizens thought otherwise.
