Regional regulatory bodies play a pivotal role in fostering collaboration, coordination standardisation, and regulatory convergence among member states. This allows them to address common challenges and promote harmonisation of regulations across borders, thereby playing a crucial role in shaping the regulatory environment and fostering industry growth within their regions.
