Introduced in 2021, the eagerly awaited Law on Competition is poised to guide businesses away from detrimental anti-competitive behaviors. Despite its recent implementation, the legal framework pertaining to antitrust matters has undergone significant advancement, underscored by the formation of a dedicated commission tasked with monitoring anti-competitive activities and enforcing laws and regulations. Crucially, beyond fostering fair competition among market players, the antitrust legislative framework is designed with consumer rights at heart. By prioritizing consumer choice, it ensures a vibrant economy where consumers have a plethora of options in selecting their goods and service providers with high quality and low prices.
