The Competition Commission publishes its 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 (𝐂𝐂 𝟖 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬) following the recent amendment to the Competition Act 2007 to include a new Section 51B -Market Inquiries.
The Guidelines establish a clear and transparent framework, ensuring procedural fairness and stakeholder engagement throughout the process.

As highlighted by the 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐫. 𝐕𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐡, “ Market inquiries serve as an important instrument to identify and address broader competition issues arising from any market features. Such a tool, already used in jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, India, South Africa, and Kenya, complements the Competition Commission’s enforcement toolkit and enhances its ability to enforce competition law more vigorously in public interest.”
