As head of the Central Bank from 1984-1990 Gov. Jose B. Fernandez, Jr. presided over the most difficult era in Philippine economic history - the country was crippled by the highest inflation rate, a debt moratorium and massive capital flight brought about by a growing crisis of confidence.
Undaunted by pressures to exercise more restraint, he adopted stringent measures that were geared toward the development of a more efficient, stable and credible financial system.
