The 2023 edition of Government at a Glance provides a comprehensive overview of public governance and public administration practices in OECD Member and partner countries. It includes indicators on trust in public institutions and satisfaction with public services, as well as evidence on good governance practices in areas such as the policy cycle, budgeting, public procurement, infrastructure planning and delivery, regulatory governance, digital government and open government data. Finally, it provides information on what resources public institutions use and how they are managed, including public finances, public employment, and human resources management. Government at a Glance allows for cross-country comparisons and helps identify trends, best practices, and areas for improvement in the public sector.

Ex post evaluation
All regulations are designed to induce behaviour. However, some work as intended, while others may not. Further, some regulations are introduced without the benefit of testing and public review (see section on regulatory impact assessment). Governments have often needed to act quickly, such as during COVID-19, introducing measures with limited information about regulations’ potential impacts. Regulations may also have unexpected consequences or fail to rectify underlying problems. Evaluations provide a performance check on regulations. They can help to improve the overall regulatory system by increasing its coherence. They also offer an opportunity for stakeholders to bring forward problems and propose solutions. Evaluations can improve transparency, accountability, and compliance with regulations.
