Abstract:
In 1992, Mexico passed a law making certain anti-competitive practices illegal and creating a Federal Competition Commission (Comision Federal de Competencia) to enforce competition policies. This case describes the considerations involved in drafting the law and the first four years of the Commission's efforts to implement it. The case is intended to support a discussion of the role of competition policy in a developing country, the enforcement priorities for a new competition agency, and the problems of building political support and technical capacity in a competition agency.
