BUTUAN CITY, Sept. 16 - The National Statistics Office Caraga will be conducting the 2012 Input-Ouput Survey of Philippine Business and Industry starting September 19.
The survey is the seventh in a series of Input-Output (I-O) survey series conducted by NSO. Its forerunner is the 2006 IOSPBI. The 2006 IOSPBI was undertaken as a rider to the 2006 Census of Philippine Business and Industry (CPBI), while the 2012 IOSPBI is a stand-alone survey.
The 2012 IOSPBI aimed to collect and generate information on the levels, structure, performance and trends of economic activities of the formal sector in the entire country for the year 2012. On the other hand, the purpose of the 2012 IOSPBI is to collect detailed data items on selected revenue, cost and inventory of businesses and industries covered in the 2012 CPBI in order to produce an I-O structure. An I-O Table is a comprehensive, detailed and consistent presentation of the flow of goods and services in an economy for a specified period of time. It provides a basis for analysis of the inter-industry use of goods and services, its intermediate uses and the flow of goods and services up to final demand.
In Caraga, NSO Field staff will be responsible for the distribution and collection of the questionnaires to the establishments starting September 19, 2013. NSO would like to assure the respondents that all information furnished to the Field Staff are strictly confidential and shall not be used as evidence in court for purposes of taxation, regulation or investigation as provided for in Section 4 of Commonwealth Act No. 591.
