The Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) on Monday called on all local government units (LGUs) to take steps to ensure efficient and speedy processing of business registrations and renewals.

In a statement, ARTA Director General Jeremiah Belgica said ARTA recently met with high-level representatives from the top malls in the country and other stakeholders to discuss their experiences in business processing and to hear the needs that can be addressed by ARTA.
