Competition Policy and Financial Regulations — Case of a Unified Competition Regulator

There is no doubt that increased competition improves a country’s economic performance, opens business opportunities to its citizens and reduces the cost of goods and services throughout the economy. This fact has been recognised by the governments around the world including India which is evident from the market reforms being carried out especially in sectors like telecom, electricity, airlines, banking and insurance. With each of these sectors being reformed, an independent regulator is set-up for the purpose with mandate to regulate the respective sector, which in majority of occasions include even “regulating competition issues”. Thus, the question is no more on the necessity and relevance of promotion of competition, but is on who should regulate the matter involving “competition issues” in light of a specialised body, CCI in place.
