ICN Framework for Competition Assessment

The ICN Framework for Competition Assessment is a set of guidelines used by authorities worldwide to evaluate whether a business practice or proposed deal might harm competition. It involves analyzing factors like market power, consumer impact, and potential barriers to entry for other companies. The goal is to ensure markets remain competitive, fair, and innovative, preventing practices that could lead to monopolies or reduce choices for consumers. The framework provides a structured approach to assess potential risks systematically, helping regulators make informed decisions that support healthy economic competition.
