  • KARL KENDRICK T. CHUA Secretary National Economic and Development Authority
    KARL KENDRICK T. CHUA Secretary National Economic and Development Authority Karl Kendrick T. Chua started his career as a system analyst with Accenture (Andersen Consulting) from 2000 to 2002. In 2004, he began teaching mathematics and economics at his alma mater, Ateneo de Manila, a year after completing his Master of Economics at the University of the Philippines. He was then hired as a research analyst for the World Bank Group in 2005 and resigned from his teaching job when he was promoted as its country economist for the Philippines in 2008. As an economist for World Bank, Chua spent a year and half in different places in Mindanao, including Marawi and Tawi-Tawi, where he led a team of researchers conducting a comprehensive jobs report on the impoverished island region. He served as a World Bank Senior Economist from 2012 until his resignation to join government service in September 2016. Chua was sworn in as Undersecretary for the Strategy, Economics and Results Group of the Department of Finance on September 29, 2016. As Finance undersecretary, he served as strategic adviser to Secretary Carlos Dominguez III and President Duterte's cabinet economic development cluster. In 2017, Chua was frequently seen participating in congressional deliberations on the administration's comprehensive tax reform bill which aimed to decrease personal income taxes and introduce higher consumption taxes to support the government's Build! Build! Build program. He was described as the "poster boy of tax reform" by several media outlets and was instrumental in the passage of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Act (TRAIN) in December 2017.

  • Report: Future of Australia's Naval Shipbuilding Industry
    Additional Comments by Senator Rex Patrick Increasing Australia’s sovereign shipbuilding capability: a shipload more to be done Betrayal of a National Kind 1.1 I thank the committee for the work it has done in relation to this long running but very important inquiry. I also thank the secretariat for their behind the scenes efforts. 1.2 I support the general findings in this report and the recommendations that flow from them, but there is a need to emphasise one issue of considerable concern that stands out against the significant ground covered by the committee in its work. 1.3 The $89 billion naval shipbuilding program could have served as a program that would bring not only great economic benefit to the nation, forming the nucleus of a high technology industry sector, but also serve as the bedrock of a sovereign naval shipbuilding capability. Unfortunately the latter will not occur as the Government offshores the lead responsibility, and in some instances the actual build, to foreign entities. Supply Ships 1.4 As was explained in the main report, in June 2014 the Government gave approval for Defence to conduct a limited competitive tender between Navantia of Spain and Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering of South Korea for the construction of the ships. 1.5 Arguments were made that the job could not be done in Australia because of a lack of appropriate infrastructure. Such an argument only stands when subject to shallow consideration.
