Title
Producer Price Survey for Manufacturing 2013

Study Type
Establishment Survey
Series Information
In 1980, studies on the generation of the producer price index (PPI) started when the Index of Physical Volume of Production series being generated by the then Central Bank of the Philippines (now Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) was discontinued. This came about because of the transfer of responsibility of operations and processing of the Monthly Survey of Establishments (MSE) for Manufacturing from the Central Bank to the National Census and Statistics Office (later the National Statistics Office- NSO).

Work on the original PPI started with 1978 as the base year and was later revised to 1985. The source of data for the PPI was the then Monthly Survey of Establishments (MSE) for Manufacturing. The MSE has a rider questionnaire, which asked for data on production of major products of the sample establishmnets. However, the PPI were never released as official statistics. It was later felt that the components of the PPI were no longer reflective of the prevailing production structure of the manufacturing sector that the PPI operations were halted.

In 1992-1993, the compilation of the PPI with 1992 as the base year was revived in a project "Improvement of the Producer Price Index of Selected Manufactured Products" through the Grants-in-Aid Program of the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB). The NSO with guidance from the Technical Committee on Price Statistics of NSCB worked for further improvements to the PPI to make it more reflective of the actual situation of the manufacturing sector. The conduct of the Producer Price Survey started in 1992 as the source of data for the PPI. Starting with this new base year, the PPI was officially released simultaneous with the SKEM indicators. (The SKEM was later renamed to MISSI).

In 2001, the NSO released the rebased series of the PPI with 1994 as the new base year. The 1992 - based series continued on until December 2001 and was discontinued the year after. The 1994-based series had January 1998 as its earliest series.

In 2005, Rebasing of PPI series to base year 2000 started and it was in August 2007 when this new base period was released in parrallel with the 1994-based series. The 2000-based series had January 2001 as its earliest series. Beginning January 2008, the 1994-based series was discontinued.

Abstract
The Philippine Statistics Authority generates various establishment based price indices and one of these is the Producers Price Index.

The 2013 PPI (2000 base year) is generated from the results of the Producer Price Survey conducted monthly by the PSA. This is done through the collection of actual producer prices from sample establishments nationwide. The PPS uses a shuttle type questionnaire which provides the respondent establishments with a running account of all monthly responses for the year. For 2013, the survey covered 595 sample products produced by 309 manufacturing establishments.

The Producer Price Index (PPI) for Manufacturing is a composite figure of producers prices of representative commodities included in the market basket. The PPI serves various purposes, the most important of which are the following:

a. measures monthly or yearly changes in the producers prices of key commodities in the manufacturing sector

b. serves as deflator to Value of Production Index (VAPI) in the estimation of Volume of Production Index (VOPI)

c. serves as deflator in the estimation of manufacturing production in real terms (at constant prices) in the system of national accounts.

The PPI is computed using the Paasche-type method of index computation . As such, the weights are continously revised upon availability of the latest data from the annual survey or census. In the case of 2013 PPI, the weights are taken from the 2010 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry (ASPBI). The revision of weights , are however instituted at the beginning of each year and are used for the entire year.
