Philippines and Japan have achieved near-balanced trade relationships and are expected to further improve under the new tax and incentives regime of the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (CREATE) Act.
Masataka Fujita, ASEAN-Japan Center Secretary-General, cited the trade relationship in his opening remarks at the webinar conducted by the Department of Trade and Industry/Board of Investments on the CREATE Act and the Strategic Investment Priorities Plan (SIPP).
