This technical note is intended to
provide regulators with concrete, practical information on
operating price-comparison websites and the strategic
considerations necessary to take into account when designing
such sites. The technical note examines price-comparison
websites operated by public sector entities in Canada,
Hungary, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, Norway, and the United
Kingdom. The technical note describes the price-comparison
tools in these case study countries, comparing differing
approaches and highlighting good practices found across
countries. Institutional and structural arrangements were
found to vary across case study countries. Price-comparison
websites are operated by either a financial regulator
(Hungary, Malaysia) or more commonly by a financial consumer
agency set up by the government but operating as an
independent agency (Canada, Ireland, Mexico, Norway, United
Kingdom). Typically, less sophisticated price-comparison
websites provide basic price-comparison tools, while more
sophisticated sites provide interactive product-selection
tools and complementary educational materials in an
intuitive, easy-to-use format. |
