red tape reduction
Streamlining government procedures
Red tape reduction is the effort to eliminate or streamline bureaucratic procedures, paperwork requirements, and regulatory burdens.
The phrase appears most often in government and business contexts where excessive formalities slow down processes: The new administration promised red tape reduction for small businesses.
The goal is typically faster approvals, lower compliance costs, and less frustration for those navigating official systems.
