Wellness in Business: Grant Thornton International Business Report (IBR) shows Philippines as 4th Most Optimistic behind Peru, Brazil, United Arab Emirates and Georgia

PH 4th most optimistic: "Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda yesterday said local business leaders and the business community in general remain optimistic about the country because they could understand and see what the Aquino government has been doing particularly in removing red tape and in improving services.

“I think the business leaders and the business community get it—what the Philippine government is doing; what we have committed to do. We are going to level the playing field. We are going to also enhance the facilitation of registration that means cutting the bureaucratic red tape and we have done so and we will continue to improve our services. It’s something that we intend to achieve to make sure that there is clearly a level playing field for the business community,” Lacierda said.

He also welcomed that the recent row between the Executive and the Judiciary had no impact on the business community citing that there is continued investment interest in the country."
