Annual National Inflation Rates from the 1965 until 2001 (Marcos to Estrada administrations)

Requested from PSA by T. Luz at 05:16 PM on May 07, 2022.
Purpose: Research (undergraduate thesis)
Date of Coverage: 01/01/1965 - 12/31/2001
Tracking no: #PSA-169913055785

Good day! I would like to humbly request for the Annual Inflation Rates from the Marcos administration until the Estrada Administration. This would roughly cover the years from 1965 until 2001. This is for the purpose of calculating the purchasing power of the government when used in calculating for the real budget of a specific department/agency for each year. That being said, being able to access this information would be highly appreciated and welcomed. Thank you and stay safe!
