The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) for the first time releases the detailed Seasonally Adjusted National Accounts (SANA) of the Philippines publication which covers the period Q1 2019 to Q1 2022. This includes both sixteen (16) industries and twelve (12) expenditure components of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The SANA presents the economic performance of the country without the influence of predictable seasonal patterns. It also provides early signals to the economic planners through quarter-on-quarter changes that will serve as a guide for better plans and decisions in maintaining the economic stability of the country.

The SANA by Major Industry was previously released on 12 May 2022. This only includes the Total Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (AFF), Total Industry, Total Services, Total Household Final Consumption Expenditure (HFCE), Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross National Income (GNI).

The PSA generates and releases the seasonally adjusted national accounts based on the PSA Board Resolution No. 01, Series of 2017 - 029: “Designating the Generation and Release of Seasonally Adjusted Series by Concerned Agencies” to enhance the relevance and effectiveness of statistics as a tool for planning and decision making.
