Regulatory responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in Southeast Asia
Regulation is one of the key tools governments can use to respond to the COVID-19
pandemic and move towards recovery. While the pandemic underscores the need for well-designed,
evidence-based regulatory policies, the extraordinary pressures it imposed often forced
governments to shorten procedures and launch new forms of co-ordination to urgently
pass regulatory measures. This can make regulatory policy making more challenging,
but also provides opportunities to innovate. This policy brief analyses how Southeast
Asian (SEA) countries approached these challenges and opportunities, and shares lessons
learned and practices among the SEA and OECD communities.
