In order to expand the economy for the benefit of the people, to
increase foreign and domestic investments, it is imperative to
establish a meaningful business-enabling environment under which
competitive economic structures can be set up. Policy and
regulatory barriers to enter particular markets can exist at any
level of government, national, state or local. There can be sound
public policy reasons for restrictions, such as health and safety
concerns, national security, or even short-term ‘industrial policy’
to develop infant industries or particular geographical districts,
however, improving business regulatory interfaces, both at national
and local levels, undertaking regulatory impact assessments,
engaging stakeholders in regulatory reforms is critical to ensure
that regulatory barriers which restrict competition are kept at
minimal levels.
