From the GSR-26 Guidelines to ACT

GSR-26 Best Practice Guidelines ‘Regulatory Governance Essentials: The new core kit regulators need to make digital markets deliver’ global multi-stakeholder consultation

The GSR-26 Best Practice Guidelines ‘Regulatory Governance Essentials: The new core kit regulators need to make digital markets deliver’ were developed through a global multi-stakeholder consultation on the core governance capabilities regulators need to make digital markets deliver. More than 50 contributions from regulators, industry, international organizations, academia and other experts brought together practical experience from different markets and institutional settings. The resulting Guidelines, endorsed by the GSR-26 Heads of Regulators, identify seven regulatory governance essentials that provide a focused baseline for strategic, evidence-based, proportionate, adaptive and coherent regulation.
