Business Permits and Licensing System Gaining Ground

Government efforts to improve the Business Permits Licensing System (BPLS) in the country appear to be gaining ground as more and more establishments renewing their business permits or applying for new ones are reported to have expressed satisfaction over how their respective local governments do their business registration processes.

This was revealed in a preliminary report presented by National Competitiveness Council Private Sector Co-Chairman Guillermo Luz and DTI Undersecretary Zenaida Maglaya in a press briefing at the Board of Investments before government and other development partners engaged in projects that address improving the ease of doing business in the country. The report covered a Customer Satisfaction Survey conducted from January 11 to February 10, 2012 of 763 businessmen and entrepreneurs regarding the issuance of local business permits. Mr. Luz expressed optimism over these positive developments saying that “this is highly attributable to the continuous concerted government and private sector initiatives to improve ease of doing business in the country.”
