Without this truly collaborative effort, this Directory would never have moved beyond the idea stage. Michael Klein, Manager Klaus Tilmes, Sr. Economist Michaela Oldfield, Editor Private Participation in Infrastructure Group September 1996 v Introduction The last decade has seen a worldwide shift towards greater private participation in infrastructure provision, with some 1,200 projects in telecommunication, energy, water, and transport in about eighty countries under active implementation. As governments retreat from their previous roles as owner and operator of infrastructure facilities, new emphasis is placed on their ability to establish sustainable regulatory arrangements which carry credibility with investors, deliver more efficient outcomes, and are perceived as legitimate and fair in the eyes of consumers and other stakeholder groups. There is a growing demand for cross-country information on infrastructure reforms, options for private participation, and experience with utility regulation among policy-makers, regulators, private sector operators, investors, and the public at large. In response, the World Bank, in partnership with a growing number of utility regulatory institutions from OECD and non-OECD countries, other multilateral organizations, and universities, is seeking to improve the exchange of information on infrastructure reforms and utility regulation, encourage policy debate among various stakeholder groups, and expand opportunities for professional training. To facilitate these goals, the International Forum for Utility Regulation was established on an informal and voluntary basis to serve as both umbrella and catalyst for these initiatives. The International Directory of Utility Regulatory Institutions is a first attempt to compile systematically the information on utility regulatory institutions and, where available, a summary of their regulatory responsibilities. We hope that this Directory will help facilitate the exchange of information and serve as a starting point for establishing contacts between parties with an interest in utility regulation. (In addition, a directory of international infrastructure companies with regulatory strategy groups is currently under preparation.) The establishment of new and/or the reform of existing utility regulatory institutions is a dynamic process. We are well aware that some of the information listed in the Directory will change or may already be out-of-date. Based on initial information provided by the Embassies located in Washington, D.C. and by World Bank staff, we contacted more than 1,000 regulatory institutions, government departments, public enterprises, and international agencies over the past nine months with a view to confirm basic facts (name, address, and telephone numbers) as well as to obtain more detailed information on their specific regulatory responsibilities. We sought to identify and list information for institutions with responsibility for economic regulation, irrespective of their status as autonomous or semi-autonomous institutions or (part of) government ministries. As a general rule, we have not listed information for direct service providers. For this Directory to continue to serve its purpose, we encourage you to update the information contained herein by completing and sending to us the forms which can be found at the end of the Directory. We would also appreciate hearing from the staff of utility regulatory institutions which are not currently listed here by asking them also to complete these forms for inclusion in the next edition of the Directory. Finally, we would appreciate receiving your comments and suggestions for improving the usefulness of this Directory. vii 1996 International Directory of Utility Regulatory Institutions CHAPTER I ALPHABETICAL LISTING BY COUNTRY This is an alphabetical list of the countries represented in this Directory.
