A counterpart bill in the Senate is currently at the committee level.If passed into law, the digitization of paper documents and processes is expected to encourage cooperation between the government and the private sector in improving the ease of doing business."Digitalization will definitely prove to be the panacea to the economic problems left behind by COVID-19," Speaker Romualdez said.The information technology and business process management industries in India account for over 55 per cent of the global outsourcing market.The Indian Government also launched its Digital India Mission in 2015 to focus on using technology and digitalization to enhance governance.Meanwhile, the United States Agency for International Development in January allotted USD 18 million to help Philippine small and medium enterprises enhance their digitalization transformation.Romualdez bared that during the event IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva extended her best wishes to the Philippines and its strong economy, read the release."She is very, very delighted with our attendance and presence during the Spring Meeting of the IMF here in Washington D.C.
