The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) said the Advisory Body of the Maharlika Investment Corp. (MIC) will submit the names of nominees responsible for overseeing the country's sovereign wealth fund to Malacañang by mid-October.

Budget Secretary Amenah F. Pangandaman told Manila Bulletin on Wednesday, Aug. 30 that the Advisory Body will release an advertisement next week to invite applicants for various executive positions within MIC.

These positions include president and chief pxecutive officer (CEO), regular directors, and independent directors from both the public and private sectors.

“We will release the ad next week to get possible applicants. So by mid-October, we have a recommendation to PBBM,” Pangandaman said, referring to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

On Tuesday, the Advisory Body, consisting of Pangandaman, National Economic Development Authority Secretary Arsenio M. Balisacan, and National Treasurer Rosalia V. de Leon, held their inaugural meeting to initiate the formulation of general policies related to MIC's investment and risk management.

Pangandaman described the first meeting as positive, stating, "It was good."

In addition to discussing general policies, she said the Advisory Body also deliberated on the salary schedule for MIC executives.

The Bureau of the Treasury has recently released the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for the Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF) Act.

According to Finance Secretary Benjamin E. Diokno, the IRR was published in the Official Gazette on Aug. 28 and is scheduled to come into effect on Sept. 12, 2023.

Diokno said with the IRR of the Maharlika law set to be implemented in two weeks, the search for qualified executives to oversee and manage the fund has begun.

“The success of the implementation of the [MIF] hinges on the selection of the best people to oversee and manage the fund and strict compliance with the provisions of the law,” Diokno said.

The President appoints the president and CEO, regular directors, and independent directors of the MIC based on the recommendations provided by the Advisory Body.
