regulatorisk

Regulatorisk is an adjective in Swedish (and also used in Norwegian) meaning relating to regulation, oversight, or regulators. It translates to regulatory or regulatory-related in English. The term is used to describe laws, rules, guidelines, institutions, and processes that govern how activities are conducted or supervised.

In practice, regulatorisk concerns the framework within which organizations operate. It covers licensing regimes, permit systems, reporting requirements, and compliance obligations across sectors such as finance, environment, health and safety, data protection, and competition. Common collocations include regulatoriska krav (regulatory requirements), regulatorisk tillsyn (regulatory supervision), and regulatoriska anpassningar (regulatory adaptations).

Regulatorisk risk refers to the potential impact of changes in law or regulation on business models, costs, or strategy. Firms monitor proposed legislation, engage with authorities, and implement compliance programs to reduce regulatorisk risk. Governments and regulators also design frameworks with consultations and impact assessments to balance innovation and protection.

Note on usage: regulatorisk is inflected to match the noun it modifies (regulatorisk, regulatoriska, regulatoriskt) and can appear in both formal and technical writing. It is a standard term in regulatory affairs, public policy, and corporate governance in Swedish.
