The 2024 edition of Government at a Glance: Latin America and the Caribbean provides the latest available evidence on public administrations and their performance in the LAC region and compares it to OECD 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. Governance indicators are especially useful for monitoring and benchmarking governments’ progress in their public sector reforms. Each indicator in the publication is presented in a user‑friendly format, consisting of graphs and/or charts illustrating variations across countries and over time, brief descriptive analyses highlighting the major findings of the data, and a methodological section on the definition of the indicator and any limitations in data comparability.

Regulatory impact assessment
Regulatory impact assessment (RIA) is a tool that helps policy makers to identify and assess the potential costs and benefits of regulatory proposals to society. RIA can identify potential impacts on different sectors and groups among those likely to benefit and those likely to bear costs. It can assist policy makers in identifying the best solutions for responding to the problem at hand. By assessing the potential impact of regulations, governments can improve the regulatory environment and reduce regulatory uncertainty, ensuring that they strike a balance between economic growth and the long-term well-being of the planet and future generations. In addition, RIA promotes transparency in the regulatory process by publicly stating the evidence base behind regulatory decisions, in turn increasing the likelihood of compliance.
