p/ Preliminary
r/ Revised to reflect latest end-month data
*/ Data are based on Balance of Payments and International Investments Position Manual, 6th Edition (BPM6)
1/ The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) is availing the flexibility option for
this category.
2/ The periodicity of Employment and Unemployment data is every quarter
particularly every January, April, July and October. Previous data
refers to the previous round of the Labor Force Survey and is not seasonally
adjusted. The reference period is the "past week" referring to the seven
days preceding the date of visit of the enumerator. Starting April 2005,
the new unemployment definition was adopted per NSCB Resolution No. 15 dated
October 20, 2004, to wit: the unemployed include all persons who are 15 years
old and above as of their last birthday and are reported as (1) without work;
AND (2) currently available for work; AND (3) seeking work OR not seeking work
due to valid reasons.
3/ The data refers to the
average monthly wage rate across the selected occupations in the selected
industries. The Philippines is using
the "as relevant" flexibility for this data and will publish wage rates
statistics with a periodicity of two years and a timeliness of 12 months.
4/ January - November 2005. The data include only the financing of the national
government, and the 14 monitored non-financial government corporations (MNGGCs).
5/ Breakdown of domestic financing was revised due to the change in the basis
used for the calculation
6/ Beginning 3 June 2016, the BSP shifted its monetary operations to an interest rate corridor (IRC) system. The repurchase (RP) window was replaced by the standing overnight lending facility (OLF). Meanwhile, the reverse repurchase (RRP) facility was
modified to a purely overnight RRP.
7/ The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) is the primary source of data while the
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) compiles the data. Daily updates are
available at the BSP website.
8/ Daily updates and other convertible currencies with the BSP are available at
the BSP website.
9/ Population Projection by
Single-Year Interval (Medium Assumption). Previous data is for 2007.
