It builds on the first two deliverables to develop a project-wide approach to the study of trust and regulation. It offers a refinement of the theories of trust so that they will be used more fruitfully to understand daily and policy-oriented trust relations in regulatory settings. This report asks how can we best conceptualize the relations between trust and regulation? How can we conceptualize their relations to provide a better, e.g. deeper and wider, understanding of governance? The main assertion is that that we need to understand the role and interactions of trust and regulations as a politically contested issue. When we speak on (dis)trust, when we assess (de)regulation, when we consider their relations, we are in the terrain of conflicting worldviews, ideologies, institutions and interests. Trust and regulation are weaponized by all actors. Their relations are political issue and the analysis of their interactions is grounded in conflicting paradigms of the social sciences research. The first part of the report identifies four different approaches to the relations between trust and regulation and to the challenges of the decline of trust and the ‘war’ against regulation. The second part of the report extends a thin apolitical understanding of the trust-choice into a more political and policy oriented analysis of actors’ preferences in governance settings. This is done by in the context of actor-centred choice architectures as well as via structural-institutional analysis. Trust choices are embedded in two types of regimes: monocentric and polycentric and with regards to the design of four mechanisms of regulation: certification, reporting, ranking & rating and auditing. The structural analysis is thereafter complemented by an analysis of regulatory strategies of trust and distrust. The deliverable concludes with some suggestions on how to reframe the politics of regulation taking trust into account and how to reorient the study of trust so as to take the politics of regulation seriously. The annex of the deliverable offers a regulatory regime perspective on trust. It draws on a mapping of trust relations, issues and puzzles within the three sectors (finance, food safety, communications and data protection) and the ten polities that will be analysed in the TiGRE project. To that purpose, an analysis of the structure and legislation of each regulatory regime in each country taking part in the project, plus the regime at the EU level. The analysis of the structures and legislations is performed in order to identify and map stakeholders and trust issues to set a wide scope for the research’s framework and in order to feed into the next WPs. Deliverable D1.3 Abstract tzj How can we best conceptualize the relations between trust and regulation? How can we conceptualize their relations to provide a better, e.g. deeper and wider, understanding of governance? A useful starting point is to understand the role and interactions of trust and regulations as a politically contested issue. When we speak on (dis)trust, when we assess (de)regulation, when we consider their relations, we are in the terrain of conflicting worldviews, ideologies, institutions and interests. Trust and regulation are weaponized by all actors. Their relations are political issue and the analysis of their interactions is grounded in conflicting paradigms of the social sciences research. The first part of the report identifies four different approaches to the relations between trust and regulation and to the challenges of the decline of trust and the ‘war’ against regulation. The second part of the report extends a thin apolitical understanding of the trust-choice into a more political and policy oriented analysis of actors’ preferences in governance settings. This is done by in the context of actor-centred choice architectures as well as via structural-institutional analysis. Trust choices are embedded in two types of regimes: monocentric and polycentric and with regards to the design of four mechanisms of regulation: certification, reporting, ranking & rating and auditing.

    INTERNATIONAL MONETARY AND FINANCIAL COMMITTEE Forty-Third Meeting April 8, 2021 Statement No. 43-1 Statement by Mr. Maurer Switzerland On behalf of Republic of Azerbaijan, Republic of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Republic of Poland, Republic of Serbia, Switzerland, Republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Republic of Uzbekistan International Monetary and Financial Committee, April 8, 2021 Statement by Mr. Ueli Maurer, Minister of Finance of Switzerland on behalf of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Poland, Serbia, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan The Fund’s leadership and advice in the core areas of its mandate continue to play an essential role in navigating these challenging times. Effective international cooperation as well as decisive steps on the part of members will be key for tackling divergence and moving swiftly to a sustainable path for global growth. As vaccines are rolled out and the economic outlook improves, exceptional measures will have to be rolled back in a timely and gradual manner to make way for more sustainable policies that support growth in the medium- to long-term. Global setting and policy priorities The global economic outlook has improved recently, with progress in vaccinations and the announcement of significant additional fiscal support in several major economies. While the recovery should gain momentum during 2021, its speed is still highly uncertain. Risks abound, reflecting foremost the need to deal with new virus strains, structural rigidities, as well as preexisting vulnerabilities, notably high public and corporate debt levels. In this context, policy support needs close monitoring to make sure that it is effective and targeted to specific objectives and needs.
