Considered the third wave of business climate reforms, on May 12, 2020, the Government promulgated Resolution No. 68/ NQ-CP on reducing and simplifying business-related regulations in the 2020-2025 period. It is the most comprehensive scheme of this type so far. The specific objectives are to cut down and streamline at least 20% of requirements and to slash at least 20% compliance costs in all currently effective business-related regulations as of May 31, 2020, considered as the baseline count by the ministries for the 2020 - 2025 scheme. At the same time, it also targets to minimize the number of regulations on businesses that are under the authority of Ministers, Heads of ministry-level agencies, the Prime Minister, and the Government. Given these challenges, OOG/Administrative Procedures Control Agency (APCA) is the lead department to coordinate the whole of the government’s efforts, guiding, reviewing, commenting, and assessing line ministries and provinces’ plans. To successfully fulfill these tasks, it requires that APCA needs to be equipped with tools and a systematic approach that can contribute to consistency and far-reaching accomplishments over time.
