In Latvia, bureaucratic processes related to public procurement have been a source of significant challenges, especially for institutions like the National Opera, leading to financial losses. A year ago, the Prime Minister announced a plan to reduce bureaucracy, but so far, tangible progress has not been observed. This situation has prompted sociologists to comment that the government's actions are an effort to respond to public demand for reducing bureaucracy, yet they argue that these efforts appear superficial and lack depth.

The State Revenue Service (VID) is actively working on reducing administrative burdens through the implementation of digital solutions, indicating a shift towards modernizing bureaucratic practices. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Economics claims accomplishments in reducing bureaucracy within the construction sector. However, construction professionals are advocating for even more rigorous reforms, suggesting that current measures may not adequately address the complexities of the sector.

Entrepreneurs involved in public procurement reform have raised concerns about decreasing competition and an increase in corruption risks. The head of the bureaucracy reduction group expressed skepticism about the Prime Minister's promises, labeling them as hasty and unquantifiable. Journalist Domburs noted that involving entrepreneurs in the bureaucracy reduction process places politicians in a favorable position, which raises questions about the sincerity and effectiveness of the proposed reforms.
