Regulation
SECO is committed to promoting business‑friendly framework conditions. As the federal competence centre for regulatory matters, we support and advise the responsible offices in analysing the economic impact of new legislative proposals and in implementing the Act on Reducing the Regulatory Burden on Businesses. The objective is efficient regulation that lowers costs, fosters innovation and enables sustainable economic growth.
Regulatory impact analysis
The Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) is the instrument used to analyse and present the economic effects of federal proposals. This page provides the requirements and tools for planning and conducting an RIA. The RIA unit at SECO supports the federal administration in carrying out these analyses.
Reduction of administrative burdens on businesses
Efficient and proportionate regulations are a key element in ensuring attractive economic framework conditions. The Business Relief Act establishes measures and instruments aimed at reducing the regulatory burden on companies and advancing the digitalisation of public administration services.
Projects in Regulatory Policy
We are committed to the continuous improvement and simplification of existing regulations and conduct in‑depth analyses of various aspects of regulatory policy. Here you can find our most recent projects.
