An Overview of Competition Law Enforcement in Hong Kong

Brent Snyder

The Hong Kong Competition Commission is a young enforcement agency, enforcing a competition law that has been in effect less than five years. Despite its relative youth, the Competition Commission is quickly gaining experience as the pace and breadth of its enforcement is increasing in the aftermath of its first trial wins, its policy advisory work with the Hong Kong Government is gaining traction, and its advocacy is succeeding in educating a wide variety of Hong Kong stakeholders about the benefits of competition and the requirements of the law.
