Majority Leader James Agalga has defended the government's 24-hour economy initiative, announcing that more than 300 filling stations and numerous manufacturing companies and factories have adopted a three-shift operation model. He emphasized that the policy is a gradual process rather than a single event, aimed at expanding business hours and generating additional economic opportunities.
Agalga clarified that the 24-hour economy is already in effect, with over 300 filling stations across the country implementing the three-shift system. He projected that this number will increase significantly when the contributions of manufacturing businesses and factories are included, predicting a total of around 500 establishments.
Despite public scrutiny of the initiative's implementation, Agalga urged citizens to allow sufficient time for the policy to yield results, stating that its progress should not be judged solely by short-term outcomes. He also mentioned that the government will provide further details on its economic strategies, including the 24-hour economy policy, during the Finance Minister's presentation of the national Budget.
