Countries in Southeast Asia with most incoming remittances, by sending region 2021

Nearly half of all remittances sent towards Southeast Asia went towards the Philippines as of 2021, probably because of overseas Filipino workers (OFW). This is according to a database that tries to model money sent internationally from one party to another. Remittances typically refer to money sent from migrant workers back home to family and friends, although there are other forms of this. Remittances can, for example, include pensioners who have a second home in foreign country. The Philippines received most of its remittances from four countries in particular: The United States, Saudi Arabia, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates.

截至2021年，东南亚接收的汇款中近半数流向菲律宾，这或许归因于海外菲律宾工人（OFW）。此数据由一个旨在模拟国际间一方发送至另一方的货币流动的数据库所记录。汇款通常指移民工人汇回国内的资金，用以赡养家人及亲友，尽管也存在其他形式的汇款。例如，汇款可能还包括在外国拥有第二住所的退休人员。菲律宾的汇款主要来源于美国、沙特阿拉伯、加拿大和阿联酋四个国家。
