Session information
Session one: Enforcers roundtable: challenges of regulating the digital economy
Thursday 8 June (0930 - 1100)
Description
In this panel, key antitrust agencies from both Asia-Pacific region and beyond will share their thoughts and observations on the latest developments in antitrust law enforcement in their jurisdictions. They will comment on what they see happening in antitrust law enforcement internationally and the extent to which their own antitrust enforcement is inspired by global antitrust developments or instead is characterized by unique features and local market realities. Panellists will discuss how to enforce without political intervention and the role of public interest considerations including whether the antitrust agencies should and can be relevant to pressing priorities such as tackling climate change, developing the digital agenda and dealing with de-globalisation and cost of living/labour market issues. Finally, the panellists will share their vision and insights on possible future developments in antitrust enforcement both globally and in the Asia-Pacific region.
