The Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) guide aims to set clear guidance standards for stakeholders to follow and use when proposing, enacting, implementing and evaluating the legislation.
The need for such a detailed methodology stems from the fact that every legislation in a given society has multiple, diverse and overlapping effects on that society, which are often difficult to predict without a detailed study that includes, communication with the parties concerned with the legislation, a clear precise and comprehensive definition of the problem that the legislator wishes to address, identification and evaluation of the available options and whether the legislative intervention is the optimal solution.
From this point of view, the main objective of the legislative impact assessment is to verify that the legislation will achieve its objectives, and that its benefits will exceed its cost.
