Regulation is essential for the functioning of society and the economy. But poor-quality regulations can impose unnecessary costs on the community, impede innovation and stifle competitive pressures. The OECD's work on regulatory policy is aimed at building policy support and skills which promote high-quality regulations in member countries. Particular emphasis is placed on researching and disseminating information on good practices relating to regulatory policy, institutions and tools. The main areas of work addressed by the division on regulatory policy are listed under "Main Topics".
