The OECD Regional Centre for Competition in Latin America is a joint venture between the Peruvian Competition Authority (INDECOPI) and the OECD. Launched in November 2019, the Centre expands the OECD's work on competition in Latin America through capacity-building and specific training to competition officials from the region. Two other competition centres also serve officials in Asia and Eastern Europe. The centre based in Peru provides capacity building assistance and policy advice through workshops, seminars and training programmes on competition law and policy for officials in competition enforcement agencies, sector regulators, and other parts of government. It also works to connect different competition agencies and jurisdictions, promoting regional co-operation and enhancing their understanding of the importance of developing a sound competition policy. The centre helps disseminate the work of the OECD’s Competition Committee’s, the OECD-IDB Latin American and Caribbean Competition Forum as well as OECD standards and best practices on competition. Beneficiaries of the centre include Argentina, Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Jamaica, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela, Andean Community and CARICOM. |
