Peru is a unitary presidential state, but despite this configuration it has three levels of subnational governments with significant regulatory powers. This setting calls for the establishment of strong governance arrangements that promote co-ordination across levels of governments in order to ensure regulatory coherence and complementarity, and balanced regulatory quality efforts. Despite having mechanism between central and subnational governments to promote the co-ordination of public policies, including fiscal incentives to local governments to encourage them to apply measures of regulatory quality, these have fallen short. As a consequence, there is ample room to seek regulatory coherence across level of government, and promote the adoption or regulatory policy tools by regional and local governments. With the exception of policies on administrative simplification, subnational governments in Peru should apply mechanisms of ex ante assessment of regulation, and of public consultation in the rule making process.
