Competition hampered
Regulation barriers, such as rules on exclusive activities,
hamper competition in some services.
Regulatory biases and government ownership in
business sector activities hold back the reallocation of
resources, hampering investment in knowledge-based
capital.
Reduce restrictive regulation in the professional
services.
Improve governance or privatise government
stakes in the Landesbanken, car manufacturing,
telecommunications and postal services.
The administration should strengthen the analysis of
the economy-wide impact of regulation.
