Personal
remittances cover cash sent through banks and informal channels as well as
remittances in kind. Personal
remittances are computed as the sum of net compensation of employees (i.e.,
gross earnings of overseas Filipino (OF) workers with work contracts of less
than one year, including all sea-based workers, less taxes, social
contributions, and transportation and travel expenditures in their host
countries), personal transfers (i.e., all current transfers in cash or in
kind by OF workers with work contracts of one year or more as well as other
household-to-household transfers between Filipinos who have migrated abroad
and their dependents in the Philippines) and capital transfers between
households
(i.e., the provision of resources for capital formation purposes, such as
for construction of residential houses, between resident and non-resident
households without anything of economic value being supplied in return). |
