Dear Members
The Singapore
business community is fortunate in many
ways. It is especially fortunate that we
have a pro-business government which
provides many avenues for feedback and
suggestions.
We’ve recently
connected a Chamber member company to
the Pro-Enterprise Panel (PEP) because
your fellow member has business issues
which span the jurisdiction of a number
of agencies and ministries. A
whole-of-government response is needed
to help this Singaporean business. We’re
confident that PEP will do just that.
So, what is the PEP in case you might
need its help?
The
Pro-Enterprise Panel (PEP) is a
private-public panel chaired by the Head
of the Civil Service with mainly
business leaders as members. The panel
is supported by a network of senior
public officers.
PEP serves as
an internal advocate for businesses
within the government to enable a more
pro-enterprise environment that
facilitates the growth of competitive
businesses. Specifically, the PEP looks
at 3 key areas: -
1. It supports
the cutting of red tape and it works on
feedback / suggestions from businesses
on the regulatory challenges they face
by working closely with public agencies
to co-create solutions e.g. business
compliance costs, delays / onerous
processes, outdated regulations.
2. It manages LicenceOne, which
allows companies to apply and renew
their business licences via the one-stop
portal. And
3. PEP also develops
and manages the Business Grants Portal.
PEP works closely with public agencies
to provide timely, effective and
practical solutions to address the
regulatory concerns that businesses
face. Since its inception in 2000, more
than 1,900 suggestions have been
received and more than half of these
have led to pro-business changes in
rules or regulations.
To find
out more about PEP, please visit the
PEP website here.
Have a
great week ahead.
Warmest regards
Victor Mills
Chief Executive
