House eyes early February for charter change debates

House Committee on Constitutional Amendments aims to start plenary debates on economic charter changes by early February.

Committee chair Alfredo Garbin Jr. stated they will hold one or two more hearings before crafting a committee report on Resolution of Both Houses No. 2, which seeks to liberalize economic provisions in the Constitution.

Garbin emphasized the need to send a positive signal to the international business community by easing foreign ownership restrictions and improving the country's investment climate.
