Competition Law and Policy in Pakistan

July 2009CompetitionIndustry

Abstract

Since, the Ordinance was placed on the statute book in November 2007 through a presidential Ordinance; it has received more than its fair share of criticism. Business leaders and other stakeholders in the country have, during the course of stakeholder dialogues organized by the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP), raised concerns on the need for the new competition regime in these trying economic times and its continuity; while legal advisers have raised challenges to the constitutional vires and other substantive and procedural aspects of the Ordinance.
