Regulatory reform REGULATORY REFORM Effective laws and regulations are a vital tool for any policymaker - whether they are seeking to grow the economy, protect the environment or improve citizens’ day-to-day lives. OECD’s work on regulatory policy brings together leading global experts on better regulation, and provides advice to governments on how best to design, implement and review laws and policies.

Effective regulation is a powerful tool for addressing challenges, big and small. This is crucial now more than ever - for tackling climate change and unlocking the benefits from the technological transition while managing the risks, such as with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Having good processes for developing, implementing and reviewing regulation is vital to ensuring regulatory policies achieve policy goals that maximise benefits and minimise costs for all. Yet across the world governments are failing to achieve their goals because of policies that are not working to their fullest capabilities. For example, ill-consulted reforms have led to undue burdens that have caused protests and voter dissatisfaction; poorly-designed digital regulations have stifled innovation whilst also failing to protect consumers; and action on environmental goals has been undermined by overly complex or existing regulations that are not fit for supporting contemporary policy goals. 2012 Recommendation on Regulatory Policy and Governance TACKLING THE MOST PRESSING PROBLEMS OF OUR TIME Good regulation helps economies succeed. It sets the “rules of the game,” aligning business practices with societal values and goals. It also gives businesses certainty to plan their operations long term, rewarding innovation and job creation. Good regulation can enable technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) to flourish, while managing its risks and ensuring ethical and transparent decision making. It can also encourage sustainable behaviours by businesses and consumers that benefit the environment and promotes green growth rather than locking in polluting fuels and practices. RESTORING TRUST IN POLICY PROCESSES Regulation is a primarily a tool of government, making trust in our public institutions an essential ingredient for success. If people do not trust governments, then it will be difficult to ensure businesses and citizens follow the rules. This is heightened by growing fiscal pressures, which constrain the use of other policy tools like spending and taxation, and by the urgent demands for action on pressing problems like stalling productivity, the climate crisis and rising cost of living. With 51% of people in OECD countries expressing trust in their political leaders in 2021, focusing on a results-oriented regulatory approach is needed more than ever to maintain and restore trust in government. Well-designed, transparent and effectively enforced rules can demonstrate the dividends of government and shore up support for elected representatives, ultimately enhancing stability and prosperity. CONTEXT ASSESSING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF REGULATIONS IN PRACTICE While most OECD countries have a formal requirement to conduct an assessment of environmental impacts when designing a regulation, the existence of this requirement does not guarantee that impacts are effectively assessed in practice. For instance, assessments can be carried out superficially or inconsistently across different ministries and policy areas. Governments must focus on bridging the gap between formal requirements to conduct evidence-based assessments and practical applications that guides decision making. This involves conducting granular, high-quality analysis that sufficiently considers environmental impacts on all groups in society. It also means addressing uneven use of these assessments across policy areas to achieve coherent, sustainable and whole-of-government approaches to environmental protection. Better Regulation for the Green Transition, 2023 LOOKING BEYOND BORDERS FOR CONTEMPORARY RULE MAKING No policy maker is an island – citizens, business activities, and policy issues like pollution or digital activities cross borders all the time. In our increasingly globalised world, regulation must adapt to cross-border challenges and opportunities. Rulemaking must consider international solutions, allowing policy makers to learn from each other and find common solutions to shared problems. However, international regulatory co-operation is still not fully embedded into regulators’ DNA. Legal and administrative processes are still designed for yesterday’s economy, failing to make the best policies for addressing today’s complex policy challenges. 2021 Regulatory Policy Outlook LATEST INSIGHTS See all latest insights * Blog Rethinking Rulemaking Through International Cooperation theregreview.org 12 December 2022 * Blog Improving International Regulatory Cooperation theregreview.org 6 September 2022 RELATED DATA See all data Government production costs Select countries RELATED PUBLICATIONS See all publications * Report Methane Abatement in Developing Countries 14 November 2024 * Policy paper Improving decision making through policy evaluation in Portugal 7 November 2024 * Report The Role of Economic Regulators in the Green Transition 28 October 2024 * Report Second Progress Review of Latvia’s Public Utilities Commission 25 September 2024 * Report Driving Performance at Brazil’s National Agency for Water and Basic Sanitation 5 June 2024 * Policy paper Regulatory experimentation 5 April 2024 NETWORKS See all programmes * Network Network of Economic Regulators 20 June 2024 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELATED POLICY ISSUES * Administrative simplification * Regulation and innovation * International regulatory co-operation * Measuring regulation * Product market regulation * Regulatory delivery © Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development TOPICS All Topics COUNTRIES & REGIONS All Countries Regional and global engagement DATA Key indicators Dashboards Tools PUBLICATIONS Reports Policy briefs NEWS & EVENTS Newsroom Events Blogs & podcasts ABOUT About the organisation Careers Networks Procurement at the OECD Contact us Newsletters SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS Facebook Twitter Youtube LinkedIn Instagram Newsletters Podcast UTILITY LINKS Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy Go to top
