NEDA: Bills in Ledac agenda to aid rebound

The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) lauded on Tuesday the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council’s (Ledac) approval of the Common Legislative Agenda (CLA) for the 18th Congress, as it would help the government’s efforts to rebound from the coronavirus crisis.

In a statement, Acting Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua said the 30 bills that made up the CLA, for which the council’s executive committee convened on February 18, “are crucial in ensuring the country’s economic recovery and in regaining our development trajectory that was held back by the Covid-19 pandemic.”
