Efforts to review analog regulations
Based on the digital principle, which is a common guideline for the government, we are working to eliminate analog regulations in order to create a society that is easy to create new added value.
*In Digital Agency, in order to promote revising analog regulations using technology, we are conducting activities aimed at exchanging opinions and sharing information among parties involved in reviewing regulations. The name of this activity was changed from "RegTech Consortium" to "RegTech Community" on October 22, 2024.

Technology Map and Technology Catalog
In Digital Agency, we will develop a technology map that organizes and visualizes the correspondence between regulations and technology, and a technology catalog that organizes information on products and services that can be used in the revising analog regulations, so that regulatory ministries and agencies can autonomously promote digital implementation and regulatory review based on technological trends. We will update it as necessary as technology progresses.
