2025年5月,菲律宾银行的现金汇款同比增长2.9%,达到26.6亿美元,高于去年同期的25.8亿美元。这一增长主要是由于陆地工人(2.8%)和海上工人(3.1%)的汇款增加。1月至5月,现金汇款增长3.0%,达到137.7亿美元,主要得益于美国、新加坡和沙特阿拉伯的资金流入增加。按来源国划分,美国仍然是最大的汇款来源,占汇款总额的40.2%,其次是新加坡(7.4%)、沙特阿拉伯(6.4%)、日本(5.0%)和英国(4.6%)。与此同时,5月份个人汇款(包括银行转账、非正式渠道和实物转账)增至29.7亿美元,比去年同期28.8亿美元增长3%。1月至5月,累计个人汇款达到153.4亿美元,也比2024年同期的148.9亿美元增长了3%。
Cash remittances coursed through banks in the Philippines rose by 2.9% year-on-year to USD 2.66 billion in May 2025, up from USD 2.58 billion in the same month last year. The increase was mainly driven by higher remittances from both land-based workers (2.8%) and sea-based workers (3.1%). From January to May, cash remittances grew by 3.0% to USD 13.77 billion, primarily supported by increased inflows from the US, Singapore, and Saudi Arabia. By country of origin, the US remained the top source, accounting for 40.2% of total remittances, followed by Singapore (7.4%), Saudi Arabia (6.4%), Japan (5.0%), and the United Kingdom (4.6%). Meanwhile, personal remittances—which include bank transfers, informal channels, and in-kind transfers—rose to USD 2.97 billion in May, up 3% from USD 2.88 billion a year earlier. Cumulative personal remittances for January to May reached USD 15.34 billion, also marking a 3% increase from USD 14.89 billion in the same period in 2024.
