Abstract

The developing countries should be equipped with three essential elements for their journey to sustainable growth: access to the global market, access to effective technology, and relying on incentive-compatible market mechanism. In this context, some important competition policy issues are identified and discussed in this paper. Among other things, replacement of anti-dumping rule with competition rule, negotiations of a global investment rule under the auspices of the WTO, searching for a multilateral formula to deal with the unilateral nature of some advanced countries' policies, and competition advocacy are all claimed as part of the pressing agenda for developing countries.
