Forum Update

Forum Overview

Founded in 1991, the Global Forum for Competition and Trade Policy consists of a group of experts representing the key interests of economists, lawyers, academics, practitioners and national and international policy-makers who are committed to expanding the global discussion of the ramifications of competition policy for global trade and investment. Through joint meetings with organisations including the OECD, World Bank, the European Union, UNCTAD, APEC, and ADB, the Forum aims to provide a direction for change, and act to reduce the friction of different national legal systems in order to establish a model world-wide competition process, which minimises distortions to business decisions, and protects competition.

Joint funding is now provided by the IBA and the World Bank, building on the foundations laid by the Centre for Global Partnership of the Japan Foundation, the Canadian Bureau of Competition Policy and the Centre of Competition and Competitiveness at the University of California, Berkeley.

Additionally, the Global Forum for Competition and Trade Policy works with the following Committees to form the Antitrust and Trade Law Section:
