                    [Summary] => Remittances from overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) fell by almost six percent  to $618 million in January from $657 million in the same period last year, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) managing director Diwa Guinigundo reported yesterday.


The fall in remittances was despite a 23.3 percent year-on-year improvement in OFW deployment, Guinigundo said.


OFW remittances in 2003 rose 6.3 percent to $7.6 billion  from $7.2 billion in the previous year.


For this year, OFW remittances are projected to rise by three percent to $7.8 billion, the BSP said.
