This agenda outlines critical areas for policy research and development within the region, focusing on enhancing socio-economic growth and financial inclusion. Mr. Vincent Casil, Chief of the Legislative Research Division (LRD), led a discussion on the challenges and opportunities surrounding these important topics in the Bangsamoro context.
