Strengthening its commitment to financial excellence, BAP has also forged a new alliance with the Asian Institute of Management (AIM)-School of Executive Education and Lifelong Learning (SEELL), marking a significant milestone.

“The BAP initiative to enhance and revamp the TCP aims to upskill and reskill bankers and develop a new generation of highly analytical, technical, and ethical financial market professionals,” according to BAP Open Market Committee (OMC) chair Paul Raymond A. Favila.

The objective, Favila said, is to align the TCP with global best practices and international standards, ensuring the quality, professionalism, and integrity of treasury professionals.

A team of banking industry experts, led by Felipe Martin F. Timbol, chair of the BAP OMC treasury education subcommittee, collaborated on updating the curriculum to meet the evolving needs of the interbank market.

Starting in 2025, bank treasury personnel can obtain the Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) license through ABIB or AIM-SEELL. This certification, registered with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines, authorizes dealers to trade in the interbank market and signifies adherence to the highest professional standards.

The enhanced TCP underscores BAP’s commitment to fostering world-class treasury professionals, ensuring the Philippine financial market remains competitive globally. --Ed: CSN
