How can governments nurture competitiveness?
Establish a stable and predictable macroeconomic, political, and legal environment
Improve the availability, quality, and efficiency of general purpose inputs, infrastructure, and institutions
Set overall rules and incentives governing competition that encourage productivity growth
(cluster development) (process of economic change )

CH MONTIN,Taipei, 28 August 2012
What is quality regulation?
Regulation: written rules that mandate behavior, in pursuit of policy objectives
Regulation, “one of three key levers of state power, with fiscal and monetary policy” (OECD) Necessary Clear/
accepted Light (costs) Well targeted
Stable Proportional Well applied
![Page 8: Taipei – 28 August 2012](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022102718/568140b7550346895dac7b41/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CH MONTIN,Taipei, 28 August 2012
Lack of coordination and planning capacities
Vested interests may block reform; political incentives favour short term interests over long term societal policy goals
Rapidly changing environments (obsolescence)
Too many levels of government: duplicative or excessive reg. (e.g. gold-plating of EU law)
Over-reliance on regulation, regardless of cost and alternatives
Risk aversion, poor risk management in reg.
Challenges to Delivering High Quality Regulation

Early sets of principles– OECD 1995-97: 7 recommendations to governments– UK 1998: 5 principles transparency, accountability,
targeting, consistency, proportionality Maturity
– Mandelkern report (EU) (2001): six dimensions– OECD “performance” 2005 : Broad programmes,
impacts, transparency, competitiveness test, liberalisation, policy linkages
Current trends– National sets: Australia (2007) “best practice
regulation,” Ireland, Finland…– OECD review of 2005 principles (2012): post-crisis
adaptations

Further reasons to engage in RR
Risks affecting all economies– Ever more complex policies (green growth,
climate, etc– Fierce competition (need to keep pace)– Impact of the crises (stress test of
governance) Opportunities
– Regulation: the most promising remaining factor
– The least expensive reform (leverage effect– APEC cooperation and mutual expertise– OECD-APEC dialogue
