The Philippines posted one of the highest jumps in the EODB scores, registering double digit increase of +29 notches

Among ASEAN countries, the Philippines’ recorded the most significant improvement in both the rank (+29) and the EODB scores (+5.12)

The Philippines made doing business easier

The Philippines made doing business easier

• GETTING CREDIT: The World Bank accepted the data correction request of the Philippine

government when it confirmed that TransUnion is the largest credit bureau in the country, with 8.47

million adult population in its database, or 13.5% of the total adult population in the Philippines,

exceeding the 5% WB threshold. This resulted in a 35-point increase in the Philippines’ score for

Getting Credit and a significant +52 notches increase in the ranking.

• PROTECTING MINORITY INVESTORS: With the enactment of the Revised Corporation Code in

February 2019, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Memorandum Circulars on Related

Party Transactions which dramatically increased the EODB scores on the topic from 43.33 to 60.00,

and more significantly raised sharply the Philippine rank from 132nd to 72nd.

• DEALING WITH CONSTRUCTION PERMITS: According to the World Bank, the Philippines made

dealing with construction permits easier by improving coordination and streamlining the process for

obtaining a certificate of occupancy. From 23 steps/122 days to 22 steps/120 days, reforms to reduce

the number of procedures, time in building a warehouse resulted in +9 increase in the ranking on this

topic
