POMCCI to host workshop to review CCFR report

The Port Moresby Chamber of Commerce and Industry (POMCCI) will be hosting a workshop in conjunction with the Consumer and Competition Framework Review (CCFR) next Tuesday, March 21.

The workshop will discuss the CCFR Report’s recommendations and solicit feedback before the final report is submitted to the Minister for Treasury and the National Executive Council.

The CCF Review is a government-sanctioned review, initiated through the 2014 Budget.

The Review is led by the Department of Treasury with technical assistance from the Asian Development Bank through its Pacific Private Sector Development Initiative.

The CCF Review examines the laws and institutions that protect consumers and promote competition in the country and makes recommendations for their improvement.

The Report makes recommendations for the improvement of:

  • Consumer protection;
  • Competition policy and law;
  • Economic empowerment of women;
  • Industry regulation;
  • Price monitoring and control; and
  • The competitive environment for business

The workshop will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
