New Development
On February 5, 2021, the Competition Authority
("Authority") published its Preliminary
Sector Study Report Regarding Fast-Moving Consumer Goods Retailing
("Preliminary Report"). The Preliminary
Report offers critical insights for the fast-moving consumer goods
("FMCG") retail sector, which goes even
beyond competition law enforcement.
What Does the Report Say?
The FMCG retail sector has been at the top of the
Authority's enforcement priorities for some time, primarily due
to the sector's structure and pivotal role in the economy.
Thus, the present study is not the first of its kind. On May 24,
2012 the Authority published the results of its first sector study
regarding FMCG retailing with the Turkey FMCG Retailing Sector
Study Final Report.
