Regulatory Policy in Chile
Government Capacity to Ensure High-Quality Regulation
One of Chile’s biggest strengths is its very sound macroeconomic framework that reinforces its economic resilience. This is partly based on a prudent regulatory and supervisory framework governing the financial system. Furthermore, the government’s Agenda for Productivity, Innovation and Growth, co-ordinated by the Ministry of Economy with the participation of other ministries and state services, constitutes a good opportunity to use regulatory policy as a driver to reform the policymaking framework of Chile. For example, Chile has already made substantive progress in making regulations more accessible and communicating administrative requirements. However, while in Chile national regulations provide the general framework for administrative procedures and an efficient state administration, the lack of a comprehensive regulatory reform programme has reduced the possibility of achieving even better economic outcomes and unleashing resources to boost productivity. The regulatory policymaking framework lacks some key features seen in other OECD countries (e.g. stakeholder engagement, regulatory impact assessment, oversight body) that would make sure that regulations are designed in the best way. Good practices in rule-making procedures are also rather limited. This review presents the way forward for improving the government’s capacity to ensure high-quality regulation in Chile.

Considering regulatory compliance, enforcement and appeals in Chile
To achieve its intended objective, a regulation must be complied with. This chapter looks into compliance and enforcement mechanisms. It offers and approach to regulatory enforcement and compliance, seeing that a crucial performance indicator for any regulation is the degree of compliance it generates. It takes into account the use of riskbased approaches for the design and implementation off regulations to be introduced gradually in the Chilean government. Furthermore, it touches upon the justification of having an appeal mechanism that allows for the redress of regulatory abuse by regulators in Chile.
