How the Philippines Overtook Thailand: The Rise of Asia’s New Economic Giant

Описание: The Philippines has officially surpassed Thailand in Gross National Income (GNI), becoming Southeast Asia’s second richest nation after Indonesia. Fueled by record remittances from Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), a thriving IT-BPO industry, and key international investments, the country’s economic presence on the world stage is growing rapidly.

In this video, we dive into the factors behind the Philippines’ remarkable financial surge in 2024 — including the landmark $518 billion GNI, why GNI is a more telling metric than GDP, and what this means for everyday Filipinos. From strategic energy agreements in the South China Sea to a booming $40 billion IT-BPO sector, the Philippine economy is stronger, more connected, and more resilient than ever.

📈 Key Points:
Understanding GNI vs. GDP
$40 billion in OFW remittances
IT-BPO employs 2 million Filipinos
Major U.S. and Japan investments in semiconductors, energy, and infrastructure
Metro Manila Subway and $25 billion railway projects
