deregulating

Lifting governmental controls

Deregulating is the process of removing or reducing government rules and restrictions that control how businesses or industries operate.

When a government deregulates an industry, it loosens requirements that companies must follow, often with the goal of increasing competition or reducing costs.

The administration has been deregulating the energy sector for years.

Critics argue that deregulating too quickly can lead to consumer harm or environmental damage.
