  • The COMESA Competition Commission (CCC) published its Draft COMESA Competition and Consumer Protection Regulations (Draft Regulations) on 24 January 2024.  
  • The Draft Regulations are intended to repeal and replace the current COMESA Competition Regulations, 2004 (Current Regulations), with the aim of better aligning the COMESA competition law with current market dynamics and developments since the Current Regulations were promulgated two decades ago (and nine years before the CCC became operational).  
  • The Draft Regulations introduce several important changes to competition law enforcement in the COMESA region.
