【FULL】Introduction to the Competition Ordinance

Overview

In a free market economy, competition drives efficiency and innovation, and directs businesses to meet consumer demands by providing the right products at the right price and quality. The Competition Ordinance, which came into full effect in December 2015, is designed to promote competition and prohibit anti-competitive practices such as bid-rigging, price-fixing, market-sharing etc. in Hong Kong.

In this webinar, representatives from the Commission will share with the audience the key elements of the Ordinance, dos and don’ts under the Ordinance, red flags of anti-competitive practices, Leniency and Cooperation Policies as well as some competition law cases in Hong Kong.
