The Republic of Tatarstan shared its experience and results of implementing the Institute for regulatory Impact assessment at the Moscow Forum
The forum "15 Years of Regulatory Impact Assessment in Russia" was held in Moscow today: a word to business", at which Gulnaz Ismagilova, Deputy Minister of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan, shared her experience in conducting a regulatory impact assessment (RIA) in the region.
In her speech, the Deputy Minister noted that the RIA institute has been implemented in the Republic of Tatarstan since 2013 and over the past time has evolved from a formal approval procedure to an effective management tool that ensures dialogue between government, business and society. According to the results of the quality rating of the regulatory impact assessment, the Republic of Tatarstan entered the group of regions with a good level.
"Over the past two years, there has been a significant evolution of the RIA institute in the republic. In the reporting period, the number of draft acts that passed the specified procedure doubled. It is noteworthy that almost half of the projects — 42% — received negative conclusions, which revealed excessive requirements and provisions that make business difficult. This indicates that RIA has become a really working filter that prevents the adoption of norms that are potentially harmful to entrepreneurship or the economy as a whole," the Deputy minister stressed.
At the forum, Gulnaz Ilnurovna, using the example of specific draft regulatory legal acts that have passed the RIA procedure, showed the importance of conducting a comprehensive assessment of the costs and incomes of business entities and other economic activities, thanks to which it was possible to prevent the adoption of excessive requirements and adjust projects in the interests of business and society.
The report also presented the effective results of RIA in 31 municipalities of the republic. According to the results of the federal rating for 2024, Tatarstan entered the group of leaders in this area of work.
At the end of her speech, the Deputy Minister stressed that Tatarstan will continue to improve the RIA mechanisms to further increase the predictability, transparency and validity of government policy in the field of economic regulation.
