FINEX calls on Duterte to enact pending ‘pro-business’ measures

MANILA – President Rodrigo Duterte should ensure that crucial “pro-business” bills are enacted into law before his term ends so as to attract more investments, a business group said Tuesday.

In a statement, the Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines (FINEX) said the group is looking forward to the approval of the Capital Markets Development Act, amendments to the Foreign Investments Act, Public Service Act and the Retail Trade Liberalization Act are before Duterte’s steps down from office next year.

“We look forward to the enactment of more pro-business legislation,” FINEX President Francis Lim said.
