The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) is an independent agency responsible for enforcing economic competition law across Pakistan. Established in 2007, it replaced the earlier Monopoly Control Authority, and its powers now rest on the Competition Act, 2010, which prohibits abuse of a dominant market position, anti-competitive agreements that restrict competition, and deceptive marketing practices. Headquartered in Islamabad, the commission also reviews mergers between companies to identify potential impediments to fair competition and promotes voluntary compliance through advocacy aimed at a competitive market culture that benefits economic efficiency and consumers.
