Moody’s has reaffirmed the Philippines’ investment-grade credit rating at “Baa2” with a stable outlook, reflecting the country’s successful economic reforms and fiscal policies. This update, announced by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), is welcomed by BSP Governor Eli Remolona Jr., who highlighted the central bank’s focus on maintaining price stability for sustainable growth.

The Baa2 rating, just above the minimum investment grade, is a result of the Philippines’ efforts to liberalize the economy and strengthen fiscal policies. Moody’s noted that these reforms create a more business-friendly environment and attract foreign investments, supporting medium-term economic growth.

For Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), this positive rating can have a direct impact on earnings. A stable investment-grade rating often strengthens the peso, which can increase the value of remittances when converted from dollars. With the Philippines’ economic outlook improving, OFWs might see their dollar earnings stretching further, benefiting their families back home.

In Q2 2024, the Philippines’ GDP grew by 6.3%, and FDI inflows rose 15.8% to $4.0 billion. Moody’s expects continued growth, driven by interest in key sectors. The Marcos administration’s “Build Better More” initiative aims to boost infrastructure investments, addressing the country’s infrastructure needs.
