B-READY: Market Competition Pillar 3: Implementation of Key Services Promoting Market Competition

B-READY focuses on ten topics that are organized following the life cycle of the firm and its participation in the market while opening, operating (or expanding), and closing (or reorganizing) a business. The Market Competition topic measures good practices related to the enforcement of competition policy, intellectual property rights and innovation policy, and regulations that focus on improving competition and innovation in markets where the government is a purchaser of services or goods, across the three different pillars. The third pillar measures the operational efficiency in the implementation of key services promoting market competition (reflecting both the ease of compliance with the regulatory framework and the effective provision of public services directly relevant to firms that contribute in practice to the promotion of market competition).
