Regulators act as “market referees”, balancing often competing interests of stakeholders in the sector, 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, most recently, the profound changes brought by the coronavirus 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.

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, most recently, the profound changes brought by the coronavirus pandemic. Assessing the performance of economic regulators must therefore be a continuous process. This progress review evaluates the changes put in place by Latvia's Public Utilities Commission since the previous OECD performance assessment review in 2016, in the interest of increasing the effectiveness of its regulatory activities and improving final outcomes for consumers and the economy.

As “market referees”, regulators contribute to the delivery of essential public utilities. Their organisational culture, behaviour and governance are important factors in how regulators, 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.
