Regulatory process reforms come in two basic forms, depending on whether the intent of reformers is to design better regulations before rules are implemented, or whether their intent is to assess the success of regulations after they are finalized. Overall, the aim is to make policy more evidence-based and efficient, as well as to encourage regulators to be more responsive to the public. https://www.mercatus.org/publications/regulatory-reform-101-guide-states

FIA president and CEO Walt Lukken sent an open letter to President Trump and key congressional and regulatory leaders calling for a comprehensive review of all financial reform regulation.
The letter notes that after the financial crisis, the Dodd-Frank Act has generated more than 22,000 pages of regulations and fundamentally changed the regulatory structure of financial markets. Now is the appropriate time to review and simplify the regulatory framework developed following the financial crisis and determine whether these regulations are in fact meeting their public objectives. https://m.mondovisione.com/media-and-resources/news/fia-requests-comprehensive-review-of-all-financial-reform-regulation/

#OECD #stakeholders The draft OECD Best Practice Principles on Stakeholder Engagement in Regulatory Policy (the Principles) is hereby presented for public consultation.

The aim of the Principles is to provide policy makers and civil servants in both OECD member and partner countries with a practical instrument to better design their stakeholder engagement strategies in developing, enforcing and reviewing regulations. The objective is to complement the 2012 Recommendation on Regulatory and Policy Governance which, albeit clear on the necessity to engage with stakeholders and adhering to the open government principles, is rather general on providing specific guidance.

The Principles pay particular attention to the objectives of regulatory policy and governance. More specifically, the aim is to make regulatory policy and governance more inclusive, to strengthen the accountability of governments when developing, reviewing and enforcing regulations and to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of stakeholder engagement processes in gathering valuable input for improving countries' regulatory frameworks.

Please send your comments on the scope of the draft Principles and explanatory text to [email protected] by 15 March 2017. By submitting comments you authorise OECD to publish them on its website. https://www.oecd.org/governance/regulatory-policy/public-consultation-best-practice-principles-on-stakeholder-engagement.htm

Это создание такого режима для банков и участников финрынка, когда регулятор сознательно разрешает провести какие-то вещи, протестировать технологии в «пилоте», не применяя жесткие методы наказания на период этого эксперимента», — заявила Скоробогатова
