Will reducing or changing economic regulation kickstart our economy? As policymakers across Europe seek ways to boost economic performance, the role of regulation is under the spotlight. Should economic regulators actively promote growth, or does their core purpose lie elsewhere? In the UK, recent government pressure on regulators to support economic growth has reignited this question.
In this episode of Top of the Agenda, Helen Jenkins is joined by Sir John Vickers, Warden of All Souls College, Oxford, and Luis Correia da Silva, Oxera Chair. Together, they explore how economic regulation influences growth, competition, and market stability.
