As “market referees”, regulators contribute to the delivery of essential public utilities. Their organisational culture, behaviour, actions and governance are important factors in how they, and the sectors they oversee, perform. The OECD Performance Assessment Framework for Economic Regulators (PAFER) looks at the institutions, processes and practices that can create an organisational culture of performance and results. This report uses PAFER to assess both the internal and external governance of Brazil’s National Agency for Water and Basic Sanitation (ANA). The review offers recommendations for the regulator to build upon its strong technical reputation and good practices. It proposes an integrated set of recommendations to help ANA best fulfil its roles relating to water resource management and water-use regulation, dam safety, and water supply and sanitation.

Regulators act as “market referees”, balancing often competing interests of stakeholders, including governments, current and future actors in the markets, and consumers. At the same time, markets are changing at an unprecedented pace due to new technologies, the international drive toward carbon-neutral economies, shifts in consumer needs and preferences, and, more recently, the profound changes brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Regulators act as “market referees”, balancing the often-competing interests of stakeholders such as governments, current and future actors in the markets, and consumers. At the same time, markets are rapidly changing due to new technologies, the international drive toward carbon-neutral economies, and, more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic and energy and cost-of-living crises. Continuously assessing the performance of economic regulators is thus important to ensure regulators continue to perform in a changing context. This second progress review evaluates the changes made by Latvia’s Public Utilities Commission over the last three years to implement 2016 OECD recommendations, following a first progress review in 2021. The review tracks progress and provides advice on how to increase the effectiveness of regulatory activities and, ultimately, improve outcomes for consumers and the economy.

Belgium has made progress in decoupling several environmental pressures from economic growth, in improving wastewater treatment and in expanding protected areas. Regions have achieved high levels of recovery and recycling, and have pioneered circular economy policies. However, further efforts are needed to progress towards carbon neutrality, reduce air and water pollution, reverse biodiversity loss and consolidate results of circular economy initiatives.
