BSP Formalises Automation of Intraday Settlement Facility for Banks

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has formalised changes to its intraday settlement facility, allowing banks to automatically access central bank funds to cover queued or expected outgoing payments.

The move aims to ensure a smoother flow of liquidity through the domestic payment system.

Memorandum M-2025-039 outlines amendments to the manual of regulations for payment systems. These updates give regulatory force to the automation of the Intraday Settlement Facility (ISF).

The ISF is a liquidity mechanism that allows eligible participants to obtain funds from the BSP through a sale and repurchase (repo) agreement.

This process prevents gridlocks caused by timing mismatches in large-value payments.

Under the new automated setup, participating banks can obtain funds within minutes of initiating a repo with the central bank.

In contrast, the previous system credited proceeds manually and required manual acceptance, often causing delays.

The system now credits funds automatically, typically within seconds, reducing the risk that payments remain in the queue beyond 15 minutes.

The automation also helps banks avoid penalties triggered when payment instructions exceed the 15-minute threshold.

Regarding the extended ISF, participants must repurchase securities within the prescribed period on the following business day. Failure to do so will result in restrictions on future transactions.

The BSP enabled this enhancement by linking its payment system, PhilPaSSplus, with the Bureau of the Treasury’s Enhanced National Registry of Scripless Securities.

Regulators designate PhilPaSSplus as a Systemically Important Payment System (SIPS), meaning its stability remains critical to the national payment infrastructure.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
