OECD Competition Assessment Reviews

OECD Competition Assessment Reviews present an analysis of regulatory restrictions on competition in the countries reviewed and make specific policy recommendations for reform. These reviews help governments eliminate barriers to competition while identifying less restrictive measures that still achieve government policy objectives. Using the OECD Competition Assessment Toolkit to structure the analysis, the regulations in sectors identified as targets for reform - such as construction, gas, media, liberal professions, pharmaceuticals, retailing, tourism and transport – are systematically reviewed one by one for any restriction to competition. The resulting recommendations allow governments to introduce more competition into the economy and foster long-lasting growth.
