OECD Regulatory Policy Outlook 2018

image of OECD Regulatory Policy Outlook 2018

Laws and regulations govern the everyday life of businesses and citizens, and are important tools of public policy. Regulating has never been easy, but the overwhelming pace of technological change and unprecedented interconnectedness of economies has made it a daunting task. The 2018 Regulatory Policy Outlook, the second in the series, maps country efforts to improve regulatory quality in line with the 2012 OECD Recommendation on Regulatory Policy and Governance, and shares good regulatory practices. It provides unique insights into the organisation and institutional settings in countries for designing, enforcing and revising regulations. It also highlights areas of the regulatory cycle that receive too little attention from policy makers. Finally, it identifies areas where countries can invest to improve the quality of laws and regulations and presents innovative approaches to better regulation.

Improving the governance of regulators and regulatory enforcement

Ensuring effective compliance with and implementation of rules and regulations is an important factor in creating a well-functioning society and trust in government. Developing and applying regulatory delivery policies, tools and institutions that help achieve the best possible outcomes through the highest possible levels of compliance, while keeping the costs and burden as low as possible, should therefore be an important part of governments’ regulatory policies. This chapter discusses regulatory delivery, concentrating on regulatory and enforcement agencies that oversee the implementation of regulation, promote compliance and, in some cases, design secondary regulations. It proposes a way forward for the better regulation agenda to include cross-governmental considerations linked to improved delivery of regulations, better co-ordination, governance and performance of bodies involved in regulatory delivery, improved targeting of regulatory enforcement activities and improving regulatory compliance.
