Riding the wave of development

Southeast Asian (SEA) competition law regimes have seen a flurry of activity recently, from comprehensive legislative reforms to developments in enforcement activity. Further changes are also expected at a regional level, as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) network is reportedly considering establishing a regional enforcers' network within 2018.

These changes all signal that the competition law landscape in the region is evolving and becoming increasingly sophisticated. In this article, we look at some of these developments in SEA, and also some broader trends we are seeing in Asia.
