Background
The Gulf economies (the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain) set oil prices, move large investment funds and drive trade, tourism and property markets across the region.
What it means for Filipinos in the Gulf
Hundreds of thousands of overseas Filipino workers earn their living in the Gulf, and their remittances support families in Mindanao and across the Philippines, so the health of these economies matters at home.
