deregulations
Lifting governmental controls
Deregulations are acts of removing or reducing government restrictions on industries or activities.
The plural typically appears in policy discussions involving multiple sectors or initiatives: The deregulations of the 1980s transformed banking, telecommunications, and transportation.
Each deregulation aims to increase competition or reduce bureaucratic burden, though critics argue they can weaken consumer protections.
