The year 2023 was one of transition for the competition authority and was marked by 2 key moments - the first part of the year when the authority focused on closing some important investigations, and the second part of the year when a number of mandates of the Plenary members expired and the authority focused on technical issues concerning new or older investigations, the speedy approval of merger cases, as well as on a number of follow-ups on some measures taken by the Government in areas with social impact (such as the capping of discounts in food retail). In 2024 we are at a turning point generated by several factors (internal and external to the authority).  To shed light on what lies ahead in terms of competition, our colleagues Catalin Suliman and Silviu Vasile have highlighted key insights in the article below. ⬇ #competition #trends #filipandcompany

Such strong numbers are testament to our ability to provide both the bespoke services and quality commercial space demanded by Chinese business. With 852 Chinese companies operating from our international business district today, we are proud that DMCC is one of the biggest hubs for Chinese businesses in Dubai across so many critical sectors – a position we will consolidate in the future as we improve our Chinese services offering further and deepen trade and investment flows.” His Excellency Muhannad Sulaiman Al Naqbi, Consul General of the United Arab Emirates in Shanghai, attended both events in Shanghai. He said: “The UAE and Shanghai share a deep connection built on a foundation of collaboration and thriving trade ties.
