BIS: Principles for economic regulation: call for evidence

Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

On 7 January 2011, the Department for Business Innovation Skills ("BIS") published a proposed set of principles for economic regulation which seek to reaffirm the importance of stable frameworks for economic regulation. The proposed principles are: i) accountability, ii) predictability, iii) coherence, iv) adaptability, v) efficiency and vi) focus. Although abstract, the principles are intended to facilitate efficient investment and sustainable growth, and provide greater clarity about roles of governments and regulators. BIS has requested feedback and comments on these principles for economic regulation by 18 February 2011.
