 Competition Law and Policy
Competition Law and Policy

UNCTAD provides competition authorities from developing countries and economies in transition with a development-focused intergovernmental forum for addressing practical competition law and policy issues.

Every year, UNCTAD hosts the Intergovernmental Group of Experts on Competition Law and Policy for consultations on competition issues of common concern to member States and informal exchange of experiences and best practices, including a Voluntary Peer Review of Competition Law and Policy.

UNCTAD is also engaged in technical cooperation with countries seeking capacity-building and technical assistance in formulating and/or effectively enforcing their competition law.

UNCTAD has developed a Voluntary Peer Review mechanism as part of its technical cooperation activities.

UNCTAD is a depository of international competition legislations, the Model Law on Competition and the United Nations Set of Principles on Competition.
