Country Reviews

In-depth reviews of national competition laws and policies began in 1998. These reviews assess how each country deals with competition and regulatory issues, from the soundness of its competition law to the structure and effectiveness of its competition institutions.

Detailed background reports are peer reviewed before publication by the Competition Committee, the OECD’s Global Forum on Competition, or the OECD/IDB Latin American Competition Forum. The reports, which typically incorporate recommendations for changes in government policy, quickly become part of national public debate, as they are closely analysed by government, the media and other influential commentators.

Reviews have been completed and published for 32 Members and non-members. Reviews of Ukraine, Czech Republic and El Salvador were completed in 2008, and a review of Italy is in progress.
