Regulators are key actors to ensure citizens and businesses have access to essential services such as communications, energy, transport and water. They perform important functions including setting prices, promoting competition and enforcing standards, all with the goal of building well-functioning sectors. They work to make services more affordable, accessible, sustainable and of high quality. Regulators bring predictability and build confidence through objective decision making based on evidence. As such, they support sectors to develop and deliver for society.

The Network of Economic Regulators (NER) provides a unique forum for economic regulators to exchange and collaborate. The NER promotes dialogue between over 70 regulators from across countries and various sectors like communications, energy, transport and water. NER members share their experiences, challenges, and innovative solutions.

The NER developed the Performance Assessment Framework for Economic Regulators (PAFER) to analyse roles and objectives, resources, processes, outputs and outcomes. It provides guidance to regulators on their challenges through PAFER reviews, progress reviews, thematic reports and workshops.

Since its inception in 2013, the NER focuses on improving regulators’ performance, reflecting on governance, and finding innovative regulatory approaches. It does so by engaging in dialogue, collecting and sharing data and defining good practice. The Secretariat supports the NER via the development of guidance, analytical work and thematic or institutional reviews, under the guidance of the NER Bureau. The NER co-ordinates its work with the Regulatory Policy Committee, to which the NER is a subcommittee.

The NER brings together over 70 economic regulators from across 36 countries and sectors including communications, energy, transport and water.

The NER meets twice a year to discuss topics of concern and develop guidance for regulators to continue to perform. The NER defines good practice in key reports such as the Best Practice Principles on the Governance of Regulators. It also supports regulators to stay ahead of the curve, by guiding thinking on new roles, practices and trends.
