The session will discuss regulation, which is not necessarily financial: Government regulation on the business sector has been tightening over the past few years. This process has put on to the public agenda macroeconomic questions, such as whether the line between regulating the business sector and harming it has been crossed, and whether it self-regulation is better than government regulation. There is also the question about how much discretion regulators should be given and how their activities can be synchronized. He should therefore discuss regulations in general, and not just financial regulations. We would like to ask him to talk what good regulations should emphasize. How can we distinguish between beneficial and harmful regulations?
