Welcome - The COMESA Competition Commission

Trade liberalisation within COMESA, and the elimination of tariff and non-tariff barriers, has enhanced competition in the COMESA region.  

In order to ensure fair competition and transparency among economic operators in the region, COMESA has adopted a regional competition policy, namely the COMESA Competition Regulations.
    
By promoting fair competition, the regional competition policy will help to  boost regional trade and investment and maximise consumer welfare in the COMESA region.  
    
The Regulations, furthermore, establish the COMESA Competition Commission as the body responsible to “monitor, investigate, detect, make determinations or take action to prevent, inhibit and/or penalise undertakings whose business activities appreciably restrains competition within the Common Market”
