Dear Mr. Reynoso,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated June 2, 2020 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You requested for the data on the following topic:
“Monthly stock market indexes from January 2000 to December 2005”

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance, this Office does not produce the data you have requested. PIDS regularly requests data on stock market indices from the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) and uploads the same in the PIDS Economic and Social Database (ESD). Currently, the earliest monthly stock indices available in the PIDS ESD website (http://econdb.pids.gov.ph/) is January 2006. For data covering earlier period, you may contact PSE directly via research@pse.com.ph.

Aside from the database, you may want to check other PIDS publications that are available on our website (https://www.pids.gov.ph/publications).

For further assistance, you may review the FAQ section of the eFOI site: https://www.foi.gov.ph/help.

Your right to request a review

If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response, by writing to the Central Appeals and Review Committee through nsalcedo@mail.pids.gov.ph. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response, and should be made within 15 calendar days from the date when you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result, within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request. 

If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011).

Thank you.

Respectfully,
Novie D. Salcedo
FOI Officer
