conducted every 5 years to gather information for
the construction of benchmarks Input-Output Table.

accounting of the amount of goods and services that
individual sectors buy from and sell to each other.

Survey on Subcontracting Activities
The Survey on Subcontracting Activities
provides information on the practices and extent of
contracting activities entered into by the businesses
and industries in the country. This is another rider
survey to the 2001 ASPBI and covers all
establishments in the country with average total
employment of 20 or more who are engaged in
economic activities within the scope of the 2001
ASPBI. Originally intended to be conducted in 2001,

Quarterly Survey of Philippine
Business and Industry (QSPBI 1 )
The QSPBI provides statistics on the
structure, trends, and levels of economic activity in
the country. In 2001, a revised design was piloted
and covered leading industries in the regions and
the key establishments in each of the industries.
Due to a reduced sample size, shorter lags between
operation and availability of results are expected.
The 3rd quarter 2001 QSPBI results have
been tabulated and transmitted to National
Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) as inputs to
the estimation of GDP.
Distribution of 3,145 questionnaires for the
fourth quarter QSPBI to sample establishments was
undertaken. QSPBI reports from 1999-2001 were
merged by sector, and national and regional chain
index for wholesale and retail were computed.
