Santo Domingo to host IV Competition Week for Latin America and the Caribbean
The National Commission for the Defense of Competition (ProCompetencia) will host the IV Competition Week from November 2 to 6 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The event will bring together competition authorities from over 20 countries, international organizations, academics, and representatives from the public and private sectors.
Key components of the agenda include the II International Congress on Competition, which focuses on competition during geopolitical transformations, and the II International Forum on Gender and Competition Law. The week will also feature a working group meeting for the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the Latin American and Caribbean Economic System (SELA), as well as the Central American Competition Forum.
During the event, María Elena Vásquez Taveras, President of the ProCompetencia Board of Directors, will present her management results for the 2021–2026 period. Additionally, a panel will discuss the draft Organic Antitrust and Economic Competition Law, which proposes significant changes to Law 42-08, including a merger control regime, enhanced cartel prosecution through a leniency program, and increased investigative powers.
