Competition Policy in Malaysia

Author

Listed:
  • Lee, Cassey

Abstract

Malaysia does not have a national competition law. Competition is regulated at the sectoral level in the country. Two economic sectors have legal provisions for competition law but these have been relatively ineffectively enforced. The benefits of Malaysia's industrial policy as well as the policy reforms in regulation and trade have been compromised by the lack of a formal institution to address competition related issues. Hence, the future priority and direction of regulatory reform is obvious -- the country needs to implement a competition law and build the related institutions and capacities.
