Management of the stock of regulation and administratives implification policies in Peru

This chapter describes the efforts and achievements of Peru in managing and simplifying the stock of regulations in Peru. It is found that although a strategy for administrative simplification is in place, oversight of its implementation should be enhanced. These efforts are further undermined because the Peruvian government lacks a baseline of administrative burdens emanating from formalities and information obligations for business and citizens, which can make difficult to target resources and communicate results. Peru should ensure the full implementation of the policies of administrative simplification, which should include evaluation of the impacts, and should consider establishing a programme on ex post evaluation of regulation.
