As part of the broader effort to strengthen the OECD’s activities with the Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) region, the OECD Regulatory Policy Committee is currently engaged in a number of projects/activities in the region both at the country and the regional level. These include, inter alia, a joint initiative by the OECD and Inter-American Development Bank to embark in the creation of the Latin American and the Caribbean Network on Regulatory Improvement. The Network offers a forum for countries in the region and OECD countries to exchange good/best practices and lessons learned on how to make regulations support growth, innovation, and the achievement of social objectives.
