The recent economic crisis appears to have shaken faith in markets and in competition policy, and there are accusations that nfettered competition has contributed to the crisis. If we mistake regulatory failure or market failure, we risk undermining the source of much of the wealth creation that ame from the opening of markets to competition.

For this blog, ICN members submitted speeches, reports, and other documents from their domestic activity to advocate for more effective competition, and for competition policy to be part of the solution to make markets work better in the future.
