Description

By 2014, key indicators for ease of doing business would have improved. These include reducing the number of processing steps and days for starting a business, securing construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency. By 2016, the target is to bring the Philippines from the bottom-third of the rankings in the Doing Business Report to the top-third rank.
