DOF Secretary Ben Diokno’s Message to the
FinTech Alliance SFF PH Pavilion

Hon. Benjamin E. Diokno, Secretary of the Department of Finance, lauded the private sector’s efforts to join the government’s mission in unlocking the Philippines’ full economic potential.

“I commend the Fintech Alliance for mounting the Bagong Pilipinas Country Pavilion. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase to the rest of the world the Philippines’s strong potential to become the next digital hotspot in the region and a world leader in the Fintech arena,” Diokno said.

“As government leaders and policymakers, it is our job to ensure that digital technologies do not become a weapon for exclusion, social instability, and unequal distribution of power and wealth. The success of digital transformation is not only measured by its ability to drive economic progress. It entails closing the digital gap and ensuring that the gains from digitalization are broadly shared,” Diokno added.
