Ringfencing

Ringfencing

Ringfencing is a term used for the requirement for public utility service providers to establish arrangements to segregate its business of providing prescribed services from its other business activities. This is so that the provider cannot access, and use to its advantage, information from those other business activities that would not be available to its competitors.

The same type of division is known as Chinese wall in other areas of business.
