-
May 15, 2007 09:54
Regulatory reform in the power sector of most transition economies has progressed. Regulatory independence, however, is still limited with direct (statutory) and indirect political input influencing decision making. Further reform is required to secure power tariff increases and private sector participation. Both should improve sector performance, notwithstanding current market sentiment towards the sector and the region.

It suggests that regulatory rules, enforceable in an independent forum such as international arbitration, should be written into contracts to ensure investor security.
