The Philippine Regulatory Authority (PRA) has announced its support for easing restrictions on foreign ownership across several strategic industries. This move aims to attract international capital and stimulate economic growth.
In a recent statement, the PRA emphasized that relaxing these limits could enhance competitiveness and innovation. "We believe that increased foreign participation will bring valuable expertise and resources to our markets," a spokesperson noted.
Analysts suggest this policy shift could particularly benefit sectors like telecommunications, energy, and transportation, where foreign investment has historically been capped. The proposal is expected to undergo further review before implementation.
