Voluntary Peer Review of Competition Law and Policy - Egypt

UNCTAD Voluntary Peer Reviews on Competition Law and Policy have been facilitated by UNCTAD since 2005, promoting the exchange of experience and knowledge between advanced and less experienced Competition Authorities and fostering international cooperation. These exercises are one of the technical cooperation products of UNCTAD in the field of competition law and policy, being included in the UNCTAD Toolbox (2020). The voluntary peer review on competition law and policy of Egypt is the second of an Arab member State (the first one was Tunisia in 2006). The scope of this exercise is focused on the substantive provisions of Egyptian competition law and enforcement practices of the Egypt Competition Authority (ECA), as well as ECA’s international cooperation, and the gathering of the necessary information and testimonials which is currently underway. It will contribute to the improvement of Egypt’s legal and institutional framework, law enforcement and cooperation on competition law and policy between relevant stakeholders.
