The government's task is to shape an effective regulatory system in the economy and in individual markets. This means implementation of tasks supporting markets, aimed at increasing their transparency and efficiency. At the same time, the processes of globalization, technical progress (e.g. the concept of e-government) and new management methods may favor the increase in the effectiveness of the market mechanism and create the need to search for directions of necessary transformations of the public sector. A number of actions are being undertaken to improve the delivery of public services.
