Published May 14, 2021, 4:41 PM The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has received special citations from the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) for its efforts toward improving the ease of doing business in the country. In the Ease of Doing Business Summit held last week, the ARTA recognized the Commission as a “Doing Business Competitiveness Ranking Mover” for instituting the most number of reforms considered in the World Bank’s Doing Business 2020 Report. The ARTA likewise cited measures adopted by the SEC toward protecting minority investors (PMI), which served as “Big Impact Indicator” and “Most Improved Indicator” of ease of doing business in the Philippines, based on World Bank’s report.
