the government is doing a lot to try to reduce the admin burden of regulation. Here are some of my reflections on how to make regulation more growth friendly without throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
Smart, pro-growth regulation is needed, says former No.10 Policy Unit head Dan Corry, who recently carried out a review of regulation at Defra https://t.co/rB9AgonvmY

Regulation is essential, and it should never be a dirty word. But we must also simplify where we can and take on the culture of risk aversion. In his latest for @CSWnews, Chief Economist @DanRCorry calls for a smarter, pro-growth approach: https://t.co/SnQiEt9JlA

As another of @PJTheEconomist's 'nerds' who likes discussing the Green Book, I agree that there are dangers here (as my blog also highlights https://t.co/CaR95InQ2f). But reviewing the discuount rate and not being too beholden to the BCR makes sense.

Spot on by @PJTheEconomist in his cautionary words surrounding the #GreenBook review by HM Treasury: https://t.co/tjkO4w1DiG. Signs of gerrymandering the outcome for the UK discount rate will only end up filtering back into Gilt yields as the UK’s creditors see less VfM
