This aims to collect and generate information on the levels, structure, performance, and trends of economic activities of the formal sector of the economy for the year 2022. Moreover, the QSPBI is also a designated statistical activity of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). It provides quarterly data on employment, compensation, revenue/sales, and inventory for national account estimation. The survey is one of the primary data sources in the compilation of the Quarterly National Accounts (QNA) and the construction of the Quarterly Economic Indicators (QEI).
