Fair Trade Commission (Japan)

The Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) is a government agency that promotes fair competition and prevents monopolistic practices in Japan’s markets. It enforces laws against unfair business conduct, such as cartels, abuse of dominant market positions, and deceptive trade practices. By ensuring businesses compete fairly, the JFTC helps maintain a healthy economy, protects consumers from unfair pricing and practices, and encourages innovation and consumer choice. Its role is essential for creating a balanced business environment where companies compete on merits rather than through harmful or anti-competitive behaviors.
