Abstract

Regulatory inconsistencies generate significant trade, and other economic and administrative costs. The inconsistencies may be attributed to unintended actions of fragmentation and complexity of regulators, without taking into consideration of federal, state and local government requirements. In other words, the interventions made into economic activities, not just have created additional burdens to the businesses but also to the all three-level governments in Malaysia. With the growing use of regulatory management tools by both APEC, World Bank and OECD, Malaysia has established an evidence-based ex-post evaluation to strengthen good regulatory practices. The Malaysian Government has published guidance documents on Good Regulatory Practice (GRP) Tools, with the latest being namely vertical and horizontal ex-post evaluation. This paper deliberates on the techniques implemented by Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) on detecting unnecessary regulatory burdens through reviews of successful case studies. The contents are sourced from MPC’s latest publications and minutes of meetings of the highest echelon in Malaysia Public-Private collaboration projects.
