The time for issuing construction permits for new projects has been cut to 15 days (a reduction of 5 days), while the time for issuing permits for repair and renovation projects has also been reduced to 15 days (5 days shorter). Similarly, the time to appraise feasibility study reports or amendments has been shortened to 17 days, down by 3 days.
