  • Competition Scenario in Mauritius
    Competition Scenario in Mauritius Prepared by: Mrs. Reshma Peerun-Fatehmamode (Project Convener) Mr. Sunil Bundoo Dr. Kheswam Jankee Supported by: Consumer Unity & Trust Society (CUTS International) August 2006 1 1. Introduction Economic theory demonstrates that welfare is greatest when markets are perfectly competitive. However, perfect competition does not exist in the real world, but the closer markets are to perfect competition, the greater the gains in welfare. This is because competition directs resources to their most productive uses in the economy and motivates firms to adopt the most efficient processes of production. Competition also ensures that the increased efficiency do not lead to increased profits for firms only, but reach consumers as well. As such, an effective competition policy should prevent the existence of anti-competitive practices. Indeed, a competition policy encompasses governmental measures that affect the behaviour of enterprises and the structure of the industry. It covers the broad spectrum of economic policies that have an impact on competition in the economy including trade policy, sectoral regulation, privatisation etc. A competition law forms an integral part of the competition policy of an economy. It can be seen as a legal tool that allows competition principles to be enforced. By keeping a check on concentration of economic power, outlawing rent-seeking behaviour, preventing anti-competitive business practices by dominant firms, eliminating artificial restrictions on entry, exit, and pricing in industries where they exist, competition law and policy ensure the competitive operation of the market, thereby providing entrepreneurs, including small and medium sized enterprises, with opportunities for participation in the economy and providing consumers with reduced prices, better quality and wider choices, all with the goal of achieving efficiency, growth, and equity.
