DOF seeks staff for post-COVID economic bounce-back plan

The Department of Finance (DOF) is recruiting Filipinos for its Strategy, Economics and Results Group (SERG) to develop and implement a national economic bounce-back plan post-COVID-19.

Finance Assistant Secretary Antonio Joselito Lambino II stated that the initiative aims to support economic managers in creating a recovery and stimulus plan for the Philippine economy.

The DOF seeks purpose-driven, results-oriented, and dedicated workers passionate about efficient delivery of government programs and services.

The recruited staff will collaborate with other government agencies and stakeholders to provide relief to families and support businesses, contributing to job creation and poverty reduction.

Their work will involve ushering and boosting inclusive growth, job creation, and poverty reduction, and laying a strong foundation for the nation's renewed pursuit of inclusive development and shared prosperity.

Resource mobilization through improved expenditure management, tax policy and administration, effective debt management, and other innovative means will be key aspects of the recovery plan.

The economic team is working to raise additional funds by using fiscal and monetary tools and tapping concessional financing options from multilateral institutions.

The economic bounce-back plan is among the four pillars of the Duterte administration's socioeconomic strategy against Covid-19, which requires around PHP1.45 trillion worth of fiscal, budgetary and monetary measures.

The administration's flagship 'Build, Build, Build' program will continue and will fuel the bounce-back plan.
