Office of International Affairs

The Office of International Affairs (OIA) at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is responsible for engaging with foreign governments and international organizations on matters related to consumer protection and competition. Its main goals are to promote fair trade practices, enhance cooperation in enforcement actions, and share best practices among countries. By collaborating internationally, the OIA helps ensure that consumers are protected and that businesses compete fairly across borders, addressing issues like fraud and anti-competitive behavior on a global scale.
