Regulatory Reform in the Middle East and North Africa
Implementing Regulatory Policy Principles to Foster Inclusive Growth
This book assesses progress in the implementation of regulatory policy within the region. Regulatory governance in the MENA region is an increasing priority for encouraging and enabling sustainable development and inclusive growth. The report reflects on the developments and highlights good practices from Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority and Tunisia. The report concludes by providing recommendations to MENA countries, especially those in transition, to help them build the required institutions, systems, policies and capacities to produce a better regulatory environment needed to deliver sustainable development and equitable growth whilst ensuring public participation and accountability.
Executive summary
Efforts at regulatory reform have been made in MENA countries for some years. The relevance of regulatory policy to economic development and social welfare places it as an important tool to support foreign and domestic efforts to create jobs, and to embrace open, inclusive government frameworks. The desire for greater civic engagement and inclusiveness can be seen in many of the countries across the region and ways of better engaging the public are being requested by the public.
