BPO revenues boost PH peso

The recent MUFG Global Research revealed that cash remittances from Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) revenues, together with the overseas workers’ sector, will support the peso as it remains resilient while the Philippines continues to fight COVID-19.
The peso closed at P48.025 versus the dollar on Wednesday, the peso’s strongest finish since February 15, when it closed at P47.93. MUFG then expects the peso to move within P46 to P49.75 versus the dollar for the second quarter.
Further, the research projects the Philippine peso to go up to P50 per dollar on Q3, and trade between P46.25 to P50.25 in Q4.
