Competition and regulation authorities contribute to economic and social welfare by monitoring the conduct of public and private actors with the aim of promoting fair competitive and operational conditions across industries as well as in market economy.
Technology has recently changed over years and created economic opportunities in many markets, particularly in digital innovation and the emergence of online platforms as means of organizing economic activities. These trends have promoted the establishment of emerging economic actors and networks of suppliers and users of goods and services that has never existed before.
Increased digitalization of economic activities and digital assets entry into the markets have created challenges for competition and regulation authorities that aim to establish fair conditions for competition, while protecting consumers from undue exploitation and shielding taxpayers from unnecessary costs.
Changes in the nature of production, trade and market interactions have led to calls for increased policy interventions aimed at supporting the development of new technologies, promoting innovative market entrants but also put pressure on Governments to protect national economies, producers and jobs.
