This project could not have been completed without their collaboration. Andrew Ewing, Manager, Private Participation in Infrastructure Group Klaus Tilmes, Knowledge Management Team for the Private Sector Group Michaela Oldfield, Editor Fahma Nur, Staff Assistant International Forum for Utility Regulation December 1997 v Introduction The International Forum for Utility Regulation (IFUR) published the first edition of the Directory in 1996 to connect utility regulators worldwide. As a follow-up to the print copy, we made available a searchable, electronic version in the spring of 1997; the website is: http://www.worldbank.org/html/fpd/psd/ifur/directory/index. html Heartened by the positive response to this Directory from the regulatory community, we contacted all institutions listed in the 1990 Directory to verify and/or update their listings. In addition, we called upon colleagues in the regulatory community and in the World Bank to help us identify new institutions in the energy, telecommunications, transport, and water and sewerage sectors that have been established over the past year. Reflecting the continuing trend towards private participation in the provision of infrastructure, utility regulatory agencies are being established in a growing number of both OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) and non-OECD countries. Throughout, we sought to identify and list information for those 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. Also, please keep in mind that some of the institutions listed may have responsibilities extending beyond infrastructure. We are well aware that some of the information listed in the Directory will change or may already be out-of-date. The process of compiling systematically this information on utility regulatory institutions is an ongoing process. For the Directory to continue to serve its purpose, we encourage you to update the information contained herein by sending us the completed 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 the international forum for utilityregulation The Intemational Forum for Utility Regulation (IFUR) was established in 1995 to provide opportunities in the burgeoning field of utility regulation for information exchange, policy debate and training across sectoral, regional, and institutional boundaries. Forum activities are open to regulators, infrastructure policymakers, and public and private operators from OECD as well as non-OECD countries. Recent activities include: I. Directories: the Intemational Directory of Utility Regulatory Institutions which contains descriptions of nearly 800 regulatory agencies in over 180 countries; and the International Directory of Regulatory Strategy Departments of Private Infrastructure Companies with responses from approximately 100 major companies worldwide. Copies of these directories can be obtained from IFUR at (202) 473-6566 (tel); (202) 522-2029 (fax); or IFUR@Worldbank.org (Email). In addition to the print format, both directories are now available on the World Bank's website at: . II. Training: three offerings of the International Training Course on Utility Regulation and Strategy, co-sponsored with the Public Utility Research Center at the University of Florida. This two-week course, which draws upon the expertise of academics, regulators, World Bank staff and private sector executives for its faculty, is the first of its kind to offer training in competition, market structure, incentive regulation, and the regulatory process for mid- to senior-level staff from regulatory agencies and regulatory strategists from private infrastructure companies. The courses, which are offered twice a year in January and June, have drawn 250 public and private sector participants from 55 countries in the electricity, gas, water and telecommunications sectors. The fundamental principles of regulatory design, economic decision-making, and financial analysis are presented to establish a framework for the development of regulatory policies appropriate for different countries and situations. Participants learn how to translate principles into practice through sector-specific cases and exercises, cross-country comparisons, and sharing expertise and experience with other participants. Typical issues addressed during the two weeks include: * What are the basic principles for competition polices? What are the regulatory and pricing issues in the transition to competitive markets? * How can financial data, the fundamental building blocks of regulation, be obtained and used? How can regulators make decisions of economic trade-offs under conditions of imperfect information? ix * How do regulators decide which tools to use in incentive regulation -- rate of return, price caps, yardsticks or hybrid combinations? What are the trade-offs and how does the choice affect the system's overall credibility, efficiency, and legitimacy? * What are the rationale and methods for introducing performance standards and incentives, particularly related to quality of service, health, safety, and environmental factors? What are the social considerations in regulation such as connection / disconnection policies and alternative payment methods? * What are the principles of measuring costs and setting prices in network industries? What are the issues in determining rate structure, such as interconnection pricing, pricing of bottleneck functions, predatory pricing, and stranded investments? * What are the key principles for the establishment and functioning of regulatory agencies, including independence, legitimacy, accountability and the exercise of regulatory discretion? What strategies are at the disposal of regulators to effectively manage complex and often politically sensitive negotiations involving government, investors, consumers, and other interest groups? * How can regulatory agencies assess their own performance? What are the key aspects of internal agency management, including information management, case management, staff development, human resource strategies, budget management, and evaluation of agency performance? What has been the experience using different incentive mechanisms for training, motivating and retaining staff to stay at the cutting edge of industry developments?

Dissemination of policy briefs on private participation in infrastructure. Drawing on a wide range of infrastructure reform in different countries and sectors, these briefs seek to broaden understanding on scope for competition in infrastructure provision, choice of regulatory rules, institutional arrangements and risk allocation. IV. Partnership with regional initiatives by providing speakers, World Bank representation and/or printed materials for conferences such as the Hemispheric Energy Steering Committee for the Americas, APEC's Regulatory Working Groups on electricity and telecommunication, the World Electricity Conference, and the 1996 Colloquium on Utility Regulation in Spain. x 1997 International Directory of Utility Regulatory Institutions CHAPTER I ALPHABETICAL LISTING BY COUNTRY This is an alphabetical list of the countries represented in this Directory.
