The PNG Government's Department of Treasury appointed an expert Review Team to examine the laws and institutions that protect consumers and competition in PNG, with a view to updating and improving these where possible. Following consultations with the public, the Review Team reported to Treasury in May 2017. The National Executive Committee subsequently approved the Final Report as submitted and approved implementation of its recommendations.
The Review Team's Final Report and Recommendations is now available to download.
A Public Consultation Paper: PNG National Competition Policy is available for download, with public comments welcomed until Friday, 15 June 2018.
Background to the Review:
A Treasury-led Independent Review:

The Review Team began its work at the end of 2014.
The Review Team will be consulting widely with groups and individuals in the public sector, in business and among the public.
