Topical statistics

Regulatory reform is being carried out in almost all OECD countries in response to multiple economic and social pressures. The OECD monitors the fast-changing area of regulatory reform and conducts comparative analyses to provide a clearer picture of what regulatory reform means, its benefits and costs, and how it can be effectively carried out.
