The Philippine central bank has created a new unit to boost its handle on digital payments as more Filipinos transact online.

Mamerto Tangonan, who was appointed a deputy governor of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, will head a new sector focused on payments and currency management, Governor Benjamin Diokno said in a virtual briefing Wednesday. The appointment was made earlier this month.
