It’s ‘fine time’ to do business in PH - Dominguez

NOW is a “fine time” to invest in the Philippines as Tokyo rekindles its ties with Manila and the Duterte administration has crafted a “business-friendly” socio-economic agenda underlining its readiness to drastically reduce poverty and lift the economy to high middle-income status in six years’ time, Department of Finance (DOF) Secretary Carlos Dominguez 3rd told the business community here on Friday.

Dominguez said that President Duterte, who is in Japan this week, has put in place a “clear and coherent” strategy, a 10-point economic program to maintain policy stability, achieve high and inclusive growth, and make doing business in my country easier” in the months ahead.
