Harmful Market Practices

Harmful market practices are actions by businesses that unfairly manipulate or deceive to gain an advantage, potentially harming consumers, competitors, or the economy. Examples include false advertising, creating fake demand, or abusing dominant market positions to block competition. These practices distort fair competition, reduce consumer choice, and can lead to higher prices or lower quality products. Regulatory authorities aim to prevent such behaviors to ensure markets remain transparent, fair, and competitive. Addressing harmful market practices helps protect consumers and supports a healthy, dynamic economic environment.
