Competition brings prosperity

21-Feb-2008

Opening the 100th meeting of the competition committee, Mr. Gurría reminded that competition is vital for economic growth. It stimulates efficiency and higher productivity, it disciplines managers, it reinforces incentives for innovation, and it speeds up the adjustment to change.

They have also proved to be more flexible and resilient to economic shocks.

The report describes and critiques competition law and enforcement in Argentina and offers some far-ranging recommendations on how it can be improved.  [Spanish Version]
