TWO business groups bared on Tuesday a list of priority measures, including amendments to the Public Services Act and the Tax Reform for Attracting Better and Higher-quality Opportunities (Trabaho) bill, that the country’s new set of lawmakers should pass to boost economic activity when the 18th Congress opens in July.

They did so days after the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) unveiled its own list of such measures, including those on sugar liberalization and the creation of a department to manage the country’s water resources.
