Overview of key developments brought by the Competition Act Pt I

Unlike these jurisdictions whose competition law has been in operation for many years, Botswana’s first legal framework of competition law started with the national competition policy of July 2005.

This policy, amongst other things, sets out the goals of competition law in Botswana. These goals include enhancing economic efficiency, promotion of consumer welfare, supporting economic growth and diversification, preventing and redressing anticompetitive practices, which harm consumers and competition between enterprises.
