Philippines

Real residential property prices, BIS index, 2008 to 2025-Q4. The index is rebased to 2010 = 100 for Philippines alone, so its level says nothing next to another country’s. Growth and drawdown are comparable across countries; the level is not.

Real house price index, annual

Annual means of the quarterly real index. A year is plotted only if all four of its quarters are present, so a partial year is dropped rather than averaged over whatever is present.

Banking crises

The annual real index has no complete year at one or both ends of the required window for any of these crises, so none of them can be measured. They are listed anyway, with the missing year named.

CrisisRun-up t-5 to tTrough vs tYears to trough
1983 to 1986not measurable: no complete index year at 1978 or at 1988 (the annual index runs 2008 to 2025)
1997 to 2001not measurable: no complete index year at 1992 or at 2002 (the annual index runs 2008 to 2025)

Source: BIS residential property prices (selected series) | Laeven and Valencia, Systemic Banking Crises Database (2025 update) 2 of the 2 crises on record for Philippines cannot be measured against this price index. They are listed above rather than dropped. Methodology

Limits of this page. The drawdown figures are conditional on the sample: Philippines’s index begins in 2008, so a peak before then is invisible and the deepest drawdown is the deepest observedone. The crisis dating is Laeven-Valencia’s, not this repo’s. Nothing here is a causal claim. See the methodology for the full list.
