Brainstorming Meeting to Develop the ASEAN Peer Review Guidance Document for Competition Policy

Twenty-seven competition officials from Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Phillippines, Thailand and Vietnam attended the Brainstorming Meeting to discuss the key elements of the ASEAN Peer Review process. Outcome 1.2.3 of the ASEAN Competition Action Plan 2025 provides that at least five peer reviews are set to be conducted in ASEAN by 2025. The Guidance Document serves to provide the general rationale and objectives, as well as the substantive and operational considerations to undertake the peer review of the national’s competition policy regime.

The meeting is part of Technical Assistance for ASEAN Competition Authorities to Strengthen Competition Law Enforcement in ASEAN Region – Second Phase supported by the Government of Japan through Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund. The first phase of the project was also supported through JAIF.
