Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas reports continued growth in cash remittances from overseas Filipino workers for May 2026 compared to the same month last year.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the central bank of the Philippines, announced on July 15, 2026, that cash remittances from overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) grew by 2 percent in May 2026. The total amount of remittances reached $2.71 billion, up from $2.66 billion in May 2025.
Remittances play a crucial role in the Philippine economy by providing financial support to millions of families and contributing to domestic consumption and development. The persistent growth in remittances indicates the continued resilience of Filipino migrant workers amid global economic challenges.
The BSP continues to monitor these inflows closely as they form a significant portion of the country’s foreign exchange earnings, reflecting the vital contribution of overseas Filipinos to the nation’s economy.
