Source of national accounts data

[jdebacker]

What's the best source to find national account data for Philippines?

Ideally this would be broken out by production sector and include measures of value added and employee compensation.

Thanks @jdebacker ! Of course, the data can be found at the national accounts page of the Philippine Statistics Authority.[ ]

@ptuano Thanks for this link. I see the VA shares by three sectors in the file Annual Gross Domestic Product Series (1946 to 2023):

• Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing
• Industry
• Services

There are also several sectors reported separately but it is easy enough to compute the shares for these sectors:

• Accommodation and Food Service Activities
• Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing
• Education
• Electricity, Steam, Water and Waste Management
• Financial and Insurance Activities
• GFCF and Construction
• Human Health and Social Work Activities
• Information and Communication
• Manufacturing
• Mining and Quarrying
• Other Services
• Real Estate and Ownership of Dwellings
• Transportation and Storage
• Wholesale and Retail Trade; Repair of Motor Vehicles and Motorcycles

I don't see anything for the employee compensation but we have someone from department of labor here. I'll ask.

Wages by industry is available here, but maybe there is a better source/format: Occupational Wages Survey

Here's the PSA webpage on the latest iteration of the Philippines input-output tables. The latest year though is 2018.

Thanks Randy. FYI, OG-PHY is using the 2018 IFPRI-prepared SAM, available here: https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/XSEXEP
