Driving Performance at Peru's Telecommunications Regulator
As “market referees”, regulators contribute to the delivery of essential public utilities. Their organisational culture, behaviour and governance are important factors in how regulators, and the sectors they oversee, perform. This report uses the OECD Performance Assessment Framework for Economic Regulators (PAFER) to assess both the internal and external governance of Peru's Supervisory Agency for Private Investment in Telecommunications (OSIPTEL). The review acknowledges OSIPTEL's achievements and good practices, analyses the key drivers of its performance, and proposes an integrated reform package to help the regulator prepare for the future.
Governance of Peru's telecommunications regulator
The Performance Assessment Framework for Economic Regulators (PAFER) was developed by the OECD to help regulators assess their own performance. The PAFER structures the drivers of performance along an input-process-output-outcome framework. This chapter applies the framework to the governance of Peru’s telecommunications regulator (Organismo Supervisor de Inversión Privada en Telecomunicaciones, OSIPTEL) and reviews the existing features, opportunities and challenges faced by OSIPTEL in developing an effective performance assessment framework.
