Money sent home by Filipinos abroad grew by 3% year on year in October, the slowest pace in five months, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) said on Monday.

Cash remittances coursed through banks climbed by 3% to $3.171 billion in October from $3.009 billion in the same month last year, data from the central bank showed.

This was the slowest growth posted since May when remittances rose by 2.9%.

However, October still marked the highest monthly remittance level in three months or since the $3.179 billion posted in July.

“Cash remittances from overseas Filipinos (OF) totaled $3.17 billion in October 2025 and $29.20 billion in January-October 2025,” the central bank said in a statement.

The United States remained the top source of remittances to the Philippines in the January October period, followed by Singapore and Saudi Arabia.

Month on month, remittances grew by 1.6% from $3.121 billion previously.

In the ten-month period, cash remittances reached $29.202 billion, up 3.2% from $28.304 billion seen a year ago.

Meanwhile, personal remittances, which include both cash coursed through banks and informal channels and in-kind remittances, rose by 3% to $3.519 billion in October from $3.415 billion a year earlier.

Personal remittances likewise recorded a 3.2% annual growth with a total of $32.493 billion as of October from $31.487 billion previously.

Big U.S. banks cut prime rate to 7.25% after Fed’s interest rate cut

The post Big U.S. banks cut prime rate to 7.25% after Fed’s interest rate cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Big U.S. banks have lowered their prime lending rate to 7.25%, down from 7.50%, after the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate cut on Wednesday, the first adjustment since December. The change directly affects consumer and business loans across the country. According to Reuters, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America all implemented the new rate immediately following the Fed’s announcement. The prime rate is what banks charge their most trusted borrowers, usually large companies. But it’s also the base for what everyone else pays; mortgages, small business loans, credit cards, and personal loans. With this cut, borrowing gets slightly cheaper across the board. Inflation still isn’t under control. It’s above the 2% goal, and the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs remains uncertain. Fed reacts to rising unemployment concerns Richard Flynn, managing director at Charles Schwab UK, said jobless claims are at their highest in almost four years, despite the Fed originally planning to keep rates unchanged through the summer. “Although the summer began with expectations of holding rates steady, the labor market has shown more signs of weakness than anticipated,” Flynn said. Hiring has slowed because of uncertainty around Trump’s trade policy. Companies are hesitating to add staff, which is why job growth has nearly stalled. As fewer people are hired, spending starts to shrink. And that’s when things start to unravel. That’s what the Fed is trying to get ahead of with this rate cut. The cut also helps banks directly. Lower rates mean more people may qualify for loans again. During the previous rate hikes, lending standards got tighter. Now, with cheaper credit, smaller businesses could get approved again. If well-funded businesses feel confident, they may hire again. That could eventually help the consumer side of the economy bounce back, but that’s…
