Deregulation refers to the reduction or elimination of government regulations on businesses and industries. Its antonym would be "regulation," which means the establishment and enforcement of rules and standards to govern certain practices. Regulation aims to ensure fairness, safety, and compliance with ethical and environmental standards, particularly in industries that affect public health or safety. It can also ensure that businesses operate on a level playing field and prevent monopolies or unfair competition. Other antonyms of deregulation include control, oversight, supervision, and restriction, which all imply a degree of government involvement and accountability in regulating the economy and protecting the interests of the public.

Usage examples for Deregulation

Famous quotes with Deregulation

• More than 20 years on, sustained competition, informed customers and the rapid growth of new technology provide the necessary environment for substantial deregulation.

  Stephen Carter
• You'll have lower prices under deregulation than you will through regulation.

  Kenneth Lay
• At the next General Election, voters face a clear choice: deregulation and less interference in everyday life with the Conservatives, or yet more regulation and interference under Mr Blair.

  John Redwood
• The populist rant about greedy banks that is being loudly ventilated in Congress is a distraction from the true causes of the crisis. The dire condition of America's financial markets is the result of American banks operating in a free-for-all environment that these same American legislators created. It is America's political class that, by embracing the dangerously simplistic ideology of deregulation, has responsibility for the present mess.

  John Gray (philosopher)
• I don’t listen to anything on the radio but NPR and occasional oldies programs. I can’t comment on the content or format of most commercial radio but I have read the statistics about the step-by-step deregulation of FCC rules that has allowed monopolies like Clear Channel to buy up massive shares of the airwaves. This has damaged our business (music) and our culture (American). The internet is offering bold alternatives but a transistor radio is only $25.00 and not everyone is hooked up through a computer and high speed connection.

  Natalie Merchant
