💡 Why Does This Matter?

📈 If you’re sending money to or from another country, the value of your money can go up or down depending on the exchange rate.

🌍 The BSP also watches global events like wars, elections, and the economy to see how they affect currencies.

💬 For example: If the US dollar gets stronger, it’s great for OFWs sending money home from America! But it also means imported goods become more expensive in the Philippines.
