The finance minister announced plans to establish fast-track courts to expedite commercial and capital market-related cases. He said the government is reviewing a specialized dispute resolution mechanism for capital market conflicts, which may include a tribunal or fast-track court with legal authority to enforce decisions. The minister also proposed expanding bilateral investment treaties and updating double taxation avoidance agreements to improve the business environment and strengthen investor protection.
Additionally, the minister said the scope of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in income tax disputes will be expanded to allow easier settlements without formal appeals, and pre-litigation mediation will be encouraged to recover defaulted loans more efficiently.
