THE National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) said the government is continuing to work hard to create a more enabling regulatory and investment climate to support businesses in the country as it recognizes the private sector's critical role in reinvigorating job creation and reducing poverty.

In his remarks at the US-Asean Business Council meeting on Thursday, October 27, NEDA Secretary Arsenio Balisacan highlighted the government's reforms and policies to further stimulate investments, especially from the foreign business sector.
