What is RIA?

Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) is recognized by the OECD and most developed countries as a key tool to improve the efficiency, transparency and accountability of regulatory decision-making. RIAs assess the likely impacts of new regulations in both quantitative and qualitative terms, helping decision makers to make good choices. By providing a systematic, evidence based and consultative framework for regulatory policy-making, well-functioning RIA systems typically encourage good governance features and contribute to a better business enabling environment.
