Senate OKs bill eased the entry of foreign retail enterprises in PH
The Senate expedited the passage of three bills that would allow full foreign ownership of public services and fewer restrictions on foreign investments. In addition to lowering the minimum capital requirement for foreign-invested companies to establish a corporation by 60% from the current law, the amendment is also seen as a new definition for electronic commerce (EC) businesses. This is seen as a move to encourage new foreigners’ investment and recover from the blow of the COVID-19.
