Abstract

Reform committees are institutional mechanisms for holding policy discussions, making specific recommendations pertaining to economic reform issues, monitoring improvement efforts, and ensuring regulatory coherence between agencies while enhancing regulatory quality. We present novel granular data on business reform committees for 160 economies, drawn from 35 questions and 238 variables grouped into three pillars: (i) mandate and scope; (ii) organizational structure and operational framework; and (iii) stakeholder engagement and communication. The dataset uniquely covers many developing economies and presents detailed insights into the goals, structures, and components of reform committees while contributing to debates on strategies for promoting better regulations.
