In the context of the current global economic crisis, regulatory reform is a powerful policy to boost entrepreneurship and help countries recover economic growth and employment. Consequently, the OECD Mexico Centre has made available to the public the booklet “Tuempresa.gob.mx: A One-stop Shop for Quick and Easy Business Start-ups in Mexico”, which is being disseminated nationally and internationally. It provides an analysis easy to understand for the broad public, about the benefits of this initiative, which positions Mexico at the forefront of worldwide efforts to simplify procedures for business start-ups.
The benefits achieved with “tuempresa.gob.mx” were presented at the Working Party on Regulatory Management and Reform of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris on 21 September 2009. The Working Party is composed of representatives from the 30 OECD member countries, as well as from countries in the accession process or enhanced engagement, such as Chile and Brazil. Given the achievements in administrative simplification and regulatory reform implied by the one-stop shop “tuempresa.gob.mx”, countries like the Netherlands and Italy commended its implementation.
The Working Party on Regulatory Management and Reform is the directive body of the OECD in matters dealing with regulatory reform. It is the forum where members and invited countries discuss the challenges in designing, implementing and enforcing quality regulation that minimises burdens to citizens and business and promotes productivity and economic growth. Likewise, it is the place where solutions to these challenges are identified and the participating countries promote them as best practices.
The one-stop shop “tuempresa.gob.mx” is one of the results of the co-operation initiative to strengthen Mexico’s competitiveness between the OECD and the Mexican government, represented by the Vice-ministry for Competitiveness and Standardisation of the Ministry of Economy, with the support of the Federal Commission for Regulatory Improvement (COFEMER).
According to the booklet produced jointly by the OECD and the Ministry of Economy and available on www.oecd.org/centrodemexico, the one-stop shop is a breakthrough for business start-ups in Mexico. It is a “decisive step in the strategy to simplify administrative procedures and facilitate better interaction between individuals and government”. Likewise, the booklet establishes that regarding business regulations, with the introduction of “tuempresa.gob.mx”, it is expected that Mexico will move up in the competitiveness rankings.
