Good day!

I am Chrisjomar Sta. Maria of the Ateneo de Manila University. I am conducting an undergraduate thesis to model Philippine currency exchange rates and key economic variables using multivariate time series analysis.

One key economic variable that we would like to study is the monthly or quarterly Balances of Trade, particularly those between the Philippines and the United States, Japan, and the Euro 19 Area (or the individual countries under this zone) from Jan. 1999 - Dec. 2019. Thus, we would like to request such data.

We hope for your acceptance of this request. Thank you!
