The Provincial Product Accounts (PPA) is a mechanism to measure the economic performance of the province or highly urbanized cities (HUCs) at a given time.

Starting last year, the PSA annually releases the provincial and HUC level economic performances following the identified pilot areas. Oriental Mindoro is one of the pilot areas for PPA compilation starting 2021.
