The theme for the Development Policy Research Month (DPRM) 2015, "Effective regulations for Sustainable Growth (Tamang Regulasyon para sa Patuloy na Pag-ahon)”, is a call for improving regulatory quality in the country to ensure that our policies and laws are facilitating competition, innovation, productivity, and growth. Through the DPRM, we hope to influence our policymakers to take action in building a formal regulatory management system that adopts explicit standards for regulatory quality and ensures the integrity and quality of new regulations through the use of regulatory impact analysis, systematic public consultation procedures, and effective regulatory coordination among concerned agencies.
