NCC’s Anti-Red Tape Project Gets a Boost From United Kingdom

Project Repeal, the anti-red tape initiative of National Competitiveness Council (NCC) has been granted technical assistance by the British Embassy through the Asia Pacific Bilateral Programme Fund. The grant will be used for the development, pilot–testing and initial roll-out of the Standard Cost Model for Project Repeal in a bid to come up with a systematic way of determining the savings brought about by reduced cost of compliance for businesses as a result of the streamlining of rules and regulations.
