The article presents the government's perspective on regulatory issues.

In recent years, the mining sector has faced not only energy constraints, financing issues, and market fluctuations but also a less visible problem in the legal framework of business. Some laws, which were enacted to support production, have encountered challenges in implementation, either due to the failure of relevant agencies to fulfill their legal obligations or because the prerequisites for their execution have not been fully established. From the perspective of private sector actors, this situation imposes costs on mining enterprises that are not necessarily reflected in financial statements under the title 'regulatory costs'; however, it manifests itself in production stoppages, reduced exports, and increased investment risks.
