SSS working with ARTA to resolve red tape

THE Social Security System (SSS) is coordinating with the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) to validate data that placed the state pension fund as the top government owned or controlled corporation (GOCC) with red tape complaints.

“From our own monitoring of ARTA referrals, all complaints received during the period covered were addressed and resolved within ARTA standards as our resolution rate is at 99.3%,” SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Joseph Montes De Claro said in a statement.

“For the period covered by ARTA presentation to the Senate, SSS tracked a total of about 474,000 e-mails working diligently until they are all resolved within ARTA standards.”

This follows ARTA’s presentation of a list of most complained-about government agencies that used data from January to August 2025 presented to the Senate.

“SSS is currently coordinating with the Anti-Red Tape Authority to validate the reported data involving 244 complaints,” Mr. De Claro said.

He said complaints about service delivery made up the majority of cases, followed by issues with loan programs, then contributions.

“Loan programs complaints were about salary loan and calamity loan programs — both were enhanced this year featuring lower interest rates — mainly on difficulty as regards calamity loan applications and challenges on loan eligibility requirements and procedures. Contributions complaints were mainly about non-remittance by employers and long wait time for manual verification.”

The SSS receives complaints and feedback through its Committee on Anti-Red Tape (CART) created in June 2021 sent via hotline, corporate e-mail, postal mail, referrals from various government entities including ARTA, and through SSS Branches.

The state pension fund assured its members and stakeholders that it continues to implement reforms and digital innovations to minimize bureaucratic delays and enhance customer experience. — Aaron Michael C. Sy

USD/CHF rises on US dollar rebound, weak Swiss economic data

The post USD/CHF rises on US dollar rebound, weak Swiss economic data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CHF trades slightly higher on Friday, around 0.8060, up 0.15% at the time of writing. The pair remains on track for a weekly gain, supported by the persistent weakness of the US Dollar (USD) amid growing expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The US Dollar Index (DXY) is heading toward its worst weekly performance since July, despite a modest rebound on Friday driven by firmer US Treasury yields. Investors continue to price in substantial monetary easing over the next 12 months. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the chance of a 25-basis-point cut at the December meeting now stands at 85%, compared with less than 40% one month ago. This dynamic is reinforced by dovish comments from several Fed officials and this week’s soft US Retail Sales data. Speculation within the National Economic Council (NEC), suggesting that Kevin Hassett may emerge as the leading candidate to replace Jerome Powell in May, also fuels expectations of a prolonged easing cycle through 2026. In this context, US Dollar rallies are likely to remain contained unless the macroeconomic backdrop shifts meaningfully. In Switzerland, the Swiss Franc (CHF) lacks momentum following economic indicators that came in well below expectations. Swiss Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracted 0.5% (QoQ) in Q3, below the 0.4% contraction consensus and after a revision of the previous quarter to 0.2%. Growth YoY slowed to 0.5%, far below the previously reported 1.3%. The only positive signal came from the KOF Leading Indicator, which improved to 101.7 from 101.03, slightly above consensus. Still, the data confirms a slowdown in the Swiss economy, reinforcing expectations that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) may keep its policy rate at 0.00% potentially through 2027, according to several analysts. Overall, the environment continues to favour USD/CHF upside, although the pair remains sensitive to…
