Policymaking is crucial for productivity as it establishes the framework, incentives, and ecosystem in which an economy can operate efficiently. Well-designed policies address systemic barriers, create enabling conditions, and guide behavior to achieve sustained productivity improvements. In the future, improving public-sector productivity will involve two distinct paths: first, improving policy, program, service, and regulatory outcomes; and second, improving the policy and productivity environment for the private sector (APO Public-sector Productivity Manual, 2020).
To accelerate this effort, the APO introduced BIs in the past few years by conducting capacity-building initiatives to familiarize members with the concept and applications. Malaysia has been promoting BIs since 2020, reflecting the government’s commitment to integrating them into public policy design for better-quality, more effective regulations. This conference will showcase initiatives by Malaysia and other nations for BI implementation in public policy.
