OFW Remittances
Remittances from overseas-based Filipinos have risen despite weak economic performance of big labor markets led by the United States and Eurozone economies.
Remittances surged to 8.4 percent in September to $1.74 billion from $1.6 billion a year ago on continued strong demand for Filipino workers in various parts of the globe. This brought the total remittances in the first nine months of 2011 to $14.76 billion, up 7.1 percent from $13.78 billion in the same period last year. BSP officials said the remittances as of September indicated that the total for the year could even surpass the projection of $20.1 billion, a growth of 7 percent from last year’s $18.8 billion. Officials said the sustained rise in remittances gave the country a chance to meet its economic growth (between 4.5 and 5.5 percent) target for the year despite the challenges from the external environment.

Foreign Reserves Asia
The Region has 60 % of the world’s FOREX Reserves yet, the region is slowing under tighter domestic monetary conditions and weaker export demand from Europe and the US. The slowdown is expected to persist through mid-2012, before a stronger recovery takes hold in the second half of the year.
