The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) established through Republic Act No. 10625 or The Philippine Statistical Act of 2013, is tasked, among others, to compile and maintain macroeconomic accounts and indicators, at the national and subnational level. The Provincial Product Accounts (PPA) is a mechanism to measure the economic performance of the province or highly urbanized cities (HUCs) at a given time. Starting last year, the PSA annually releases the provincial level economic performances following the identified pilot provinces and HUCS. Cavite is one of the pilot areas for PPA compilation starting 2022. For full report, statistical tables, and visuals on the PPA releases, please visit our website at http://rsso04a.psa.gov.ph/cavite or at the PSA Regional Office or PSA Provincial offices.
