Description: In many developing countries, private companies are replacing government agencies as owners and operators of infrastructure services. Governments must now develop new skills in economic regulation of these private providers to protect consumer interests while also ensuring that the companies remain economically and financially sound. This manual provides new economic regulators with practical guidance on how to proceed in this fairly technical new field.
