4 Regulatory Policy  Although governments historicaly used traditional instruments such as current spending, tax and investment to achive objectives of improving social development, better living standarts and quality of the life of citizens, especially following 2000s, OECD and EU Countries started to attach significant importance to regulatory policy.

5 Regulatory Risk Regulatory Risk  Regulatory risk reduces both the quantity of investment and the value of investment. investment and the value of investment.  The more uncertain and risky is the regulatory environment in which economic activity occurs, the more likely it is that aggressive rent seeking and short- term profit taking will replace longer-term investment in a competitive climate.  RIA can help reduce regulatory risk.

9 What is RIA?  RIA is an evidence-based process for making regulatory decisions.  Structurally, RIA is a process of asking the right questions in a structured format to support a wider and more transparent policy debate.  Systematically and consistently examining selected potential impacts arising from selected potential impacts arising from government action or non-action, government action or non-action,  Communicating the information to decision-makers and stakeholders.

10 Objectives of RIA Objectives of RIA  Calculating the costs and benefits of government action. government action.  Opening up decisions to a wider range of interests. interests.  Improving regulatory qualities.  Changing the culture of the regulators.  Changing the views about the role of government.  Shifting the role of government from “rowing” to “steering”.

11 RIA should be part of wider regulatory policy  RIA should be based on government- wide principles of good regulation wide principles of good regulation  It is essential to explicitly define regulatory quality, especially in a transition country, where especially in a transition country, where understanding of market needs is low. understanding of market needs is low.  Most governments have issued instructions to regulators about the quality of their regulatory regulators about the quality of their regulatory decisions. decisions.  Regulators must show that their proposed regulations will meet these quality standards BEFORE they will meet these quality standards BEFORE they adopt them. adopt them.

12 Critical Questions for RIA  To enforce and comply ? Are proposals enforceable? –e.g. resources Are proposals enforceable? –e.g. resources  Who will enforce them?  How will consistency and accountability be ensured?  What are compliance targets?  Do benefits justify compliance costs?

13 Important success factors  The highest level political support  Support from Prime Minister’s Office  Awareness-raising and training  Development of RIA network for sharing of experience and leading this process experience and leading this process  Ongoing liaison with OECD and EU colleagues especially EU Directors of Better Regulation  Learning by doing

22 Better Regulation for Turkey(2)  Sustainable growth is based on the quality of governance.  The focus of development today is on the role of the state and its effectiveness, that is, its quality.  Turkey needs smart government.

34 Results in Turkey Results in Turkey  This pilot undertaken in cooperation with the EU has given the first results: RIA model developed in RIA model developed in Due to execution of pilot RIA a good enough capacity is built up in public administration especialy at participating ministries.

35 Lessons learned  Many RIA lessons are learned: More structured and explicit focus on the objectives More structured and explicit focus on the objectives behind regulations–with identification of problems being addressed. behind regulations–with identification of problems being addressed. Identification and analysis of alternative options for Identification and analysis of alternative options for achieving policy objectives. achieving policy objectives.

36 Benefits of RIA  With RIA, the Public Sector can;  Have a more structured and explicit examination of likely costs and benefits of proposed regulation,  Have important consultation with stakeholders,  Have an earlier focus on enforcement and compliance issues who will enforce the regulations, what are the compliance targets?,  Highlight the introduction of performance indicators for regulations, so that they can show if the regulations are working well.  Improve ligitimacy of regulations

37 Challenges of RIA  Key players will feel some discomfort.  So,traditional ways will be challenged  And yet if RIA is well explained there can be real benefits for the main players and in the public interest  Institutional resistance to change including bruacracy
