The OECD high-level Symposium “Simplifying for Success” will provide a pivotal platform to explore current regulatory burden reduction and simplification initiatives and define the path to tangible outcomes for business. Global leaders from government, business, trade and consumer protection organisations will exchange on what has been learnt from past efforts, what is different today, and how governments can more effectively reduce regulatory complexity and costs while safeguarding the public interest.

The Symposium forms part of the OECD Simplifying for Success (S4S) initiative, that aims to support renewed government efforts to deliver simple, smart and streamlined regulations to help unlock prosperity. This objective will be supported by providing a forum for exchange and peer learning on current initiatives and to take stock of past efforts, developing clarity about concepts and tools to mitigate misperceptions, and proposing forward-looking methodologies for regulatory burden reduction and simplification.
