Despite being delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) will pursue the construction of its 30-hectare new Currency Production Facility (CPF) in New Clark City in Capas, Tarlac this year.
BSP Governor Benjamin E. Diokno, during Wednesday’s Virtual Signing Ceremony for the BSP-Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) Contract of Lease which is a 50 to 75 years of land lease agreement, said they are now ready for the next step in its long-term plan of transferring its Security Plant Complex (SPC) operations outside of Metro Manila.
“The signing of this contract now gives the BSP the go-signal to proceed onto the next phase of this undertaking, which is the procurement of the architectural and engineering design, and the construction of the modern, eco-friendly facilities,” said Diokno.
