1 Philippines - based on the revised and rebased to 2018 National Accounts of the Philippines
For China, the 2017-2020 figures were computed using GDP values based on 2015 prices while the 2022 figures were computed using GDP values based on 2020 prices.
2 Philippines - Inflation figures are computed from the 2018-based CPI series.
For Indonesia, the inflation rate starting from 2024 is based on the 2022 CPI series. Prior to 2024, it is based on the 2018 CPI series.
3 Philippines - The Labor Force Survey (LFS) was originally conducted on a quarterly basis (i.e., January, April, July and October), with a sample size of approximately 44,000 households. From April 2016 to October 2019, the LFS adopted the population projections based on the 2010 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) and 2013 Master Sample (MS) Design. Beginning January 2020, the LFS results, including the final 2019 LFS, have been estimated using the 2015 Population Census (POPCEN) and 2013 MS.
4 Based on the International Merchandise Trade Statistics of the Philippine Statistics Authority
5 Data originally published in domestic currency were converted to US dollars using average exchange rates for the period. As a result, quarterly USD-equivalent data do not sum up to annual USD-equivalent data.
6 Net FDI flows refer to non-resident placements less non-resident withdrawals of equity, reinvestment of earnings and other capital.
7 Net FPI flows refer to non-resident placements less non-resident withdrawals of equity securities and debt securities.
8 Philippine data were revised to reflect new treatment of Hybrid Tier 1 accounts beginning March 2006.
9 Import cover refers to number of months of average imports of goods
10 For the Philippines, data are based on the Depository Corporations Survey (DCS). The DCS is a consolidation of the balance sheets of the central bank and Other Depository Corporations (ODCs), consisting of universal and commercial banks (U/KBs), thrift banks (TBs), rural and cooperative banks (R/CBs), non-stock savings and loan associations (NSSLAs) and non-banks with quasi-banking functions (NBQBs).
11 Starting 1 January 2020, universal and commercial banks (UK/Bs), are required to submit the amended reporting templates on banks’ lending and deposit rates or Interest Rates on Loans and Deposits (IRLD) in accordance with Circular Nos. 1029 and 1037, series of 2019.  Data beginning January 2020 are preliminary estimates as of 5 August 2024 given the ongoing refinements of the IRLD reporting system.  Bank submissions with interest rates of 100% and above were excluded per account code from the computation per the Department of Supervisory Analytics (DSA) and Supervisory Policy and Research Department’s (SPRD) definition of outliers.  Moreover, WAIR on Philippine Peso-denominated savings deposit refer to the interest rate based on reporting UK/Bs’ interest expense and outstanding peso-denominated deposits.  There is a break in the series beginning August 20222 given data updates.  The series will be linked once data prior to August 2022 become available. 
12 Quarterly treasury bill (T-bill) rates were computed based on the auction date by BSP staff.
