Ganito inilarawan ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) ang 2023 remittances
ng overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) na umabot sa US$37.2 billion.


Ito ay mas mataas ng three percent mula sa naiulat na US$36.1 billion noong
2022.


“The robust inward remittances reflected the rise in the deployment of OFWs
due to the continuous increase in demand for foreign workers in host
countries,” ayon sa BSP.


Ang 2023 remittances ay kumakatawan sa 8.5 percent ng gross domestic product (GDP) at 7.7 percent ng gross national income (GNI) ng bansa.
