【 摘 要 】

Regulatory reform in all itsaspects--deregulation, re-regulation, simplification, andbuilding new institutional capacities for developing andapplying high quality market rules--should be integratedthroughout Mauritania's efforts to generate the growthand market development needed to combat poverty, improvestandards of living, and lay the foundation for asustainable development. This report identifies practicalreforms to regulatory policies, institutions, and processesthat can help accelerate economic growth in Mauritania andbring its regulatory practices closer to good internationalpractices. Recommendations fall into three broad categories:1) use regulatory reform and coordination to enlarge anddeepen Mauritania's internal, regional, andinternational markets in order to stimulate investment andcompetition; 2) improve public sector capacities to designand apply market-oriented regulation that is transparent,efficient, and neutral; and 3) as the market develops,promote attention to competition principles by clarifyingthe role of government intervention and focusing on market abuses.
