BSP conducts the 4th corporate financial trends survey

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) will be conducting the 4th Corporate Financial Trends Survey (CFTS) in the third quarter of 2024.

The CFTS is a BSP initiative designed to provide a better understanding of the financial conditions of non-financial corporations (NFCs). It will gather granular data on firm-level borrowing activity; profitability; liquidity and solvency conditions; and funding structure and usage.

The analysis of CFTS data will aid the BSP in assessing the health of the corporate sector, which will guide the BSP in promoting financial stability towards a sustainable Philippine economy.

The CFTS is an annual survey conducted during the third quarter of each year.

The BSP emphasizes that the survey data collected from individual corporate respondents will not be made available to any person or entity outside the BSP* and will be used solely for research and policy formulation purposes.

As with all BSP-released statistics, the survey results will be published only in aggregate form to safeguard potentially sensitive corporate information shared by respondents. Information about the BSP’s data privacy policy and the CFTS may be found on the BSP website through the following links:

• BSP Privacy Policy: https://www.bsp.gov.ph/Pages/AboutTheBank/BSPPrivacyPolicy.aspx;
• CFTS Infographic: CFTS.pdf (bsp.gov.ph)

For concerns or clarifications, the BSP-CFTS team may be contacted via email at cfts@bsp.gov.ph or by telephone at (02) 8306-2971.

The BSP encourages NFCs to support and participate in the CFTS.

This survey initiative has been reviewed and cleared by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). For more information, please visit the PSA website: PSA Greenlights the Conduct of the 4th Corporate Financial Trends Survey
