                    [Summary] => Remittances from overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) reached $3.3 billion in the first five months of the year, dropping by a marginal 0.4 percent due to a considerable decline in May inflows. 


As financial regulations tightened in the Middle East, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said remittances continued to decline in May after going down drastically in April. 


Data from the BSP showed that the weakness of the peso shortly before the May elections even resulted in a drop in dollar remittances as OFWs waited for a bigger drop in the peso-dollar exchange rate.
