MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Land Registration Authority (LRA) have signed the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for the Investors’ Lease Act, paving the way for longer lease periods of up to 99 years for foreign investors. The IRR operationalizes the extension of lease periods for private lands by foreign investors to an aggregate of 99 years from 75 years under the amended Investors’ Lease Act. By offering longer leasehold terms for foreign investors, the government aims is to attract a steady flow of long-term capital, advanced technology and global expertise. Roque said the Investors’ Lease Act and its IRR provide a boost to investor confidence through a stable and transparent regulatory environment.
