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. At the provincial level, the Provincial Product Accounts (PPA) is the tool to measure the economic performance of the province or highly urbanized cities (HUCs) at a given time. 

Starting this year, the PSA will annually release the provincial level economic performances of the identified 14 pilot provinces and 6 HUCs of Central Visayas, MIMAROPA, and Northern Mindanao.  The Province of Bohol is one of the pilot provinces for PPA in 2021.
