‘Reform key to inclusive growth’

The Joint Foreign Chambers (JFC), the country’s largest coalition of foreign investors, acknowledged a significant improvement in the country’s competitiveness over the last four years, but stressed the need for further reform that could ensure inclusive growth.

At the fourth edition of the “Arangkada Assessment Forum” at the Shangri-La Hotel Makati on Tuesday, the foreign investors called on the government to implement policies that will enhance the environment for jobs to flourish with a better educated, healthier, secure workforce, as well as modern infrastructure and a supportive rather than burdensome regulatory regime.
