Answer:

Deregulation is the phenomenon wherein governments signal their intention to leave the market economy to the market forces and not stifle it and constrain it with myriad laws, rules, and regulations. Deregulation entails overseeing and supervising the economy in a manner that would be a hands-off approach combined with oversight over its functioning related to legal and compliance aspects alone. In other words, deregulation means that the governments do not interfere with the businesses in a day-to-day manner and act only when specific complaints against businesses are brought before them. Farther, deregulation also means that governments do not set prices or put in motion price controls leaving the process of determining the best pricing to the market forces of demand and supply. Deregulation has been in vogue in emerging markets or the developing countries ever since the 1990s when these markets began to globalize their economies and open them up to the foreign competition as well as liberalize their economies so that domestic firms can compete without the heavy hand of the state. This response means that instead of the heavy hand of the state, markets are left to work according to the invisible hand of the market economy.
