NDRC tasked to draft antitrust guidelines and shape market expectations

The country's top economic planner said on Thursday it has been tasked to draft six antitrust guidelines to further clarify the existing laws and rules, so as to give the market clearer expectations and improve transparency in antitrust enforcement.

The National Development and Reform Commission said the Anti-Monopoly Committee of the State Council, the top antitrust supervisor, has authorized it to draw up the draft guidelines.

The NDRC is one of the three agencies that deal with antitrust activities and investigations.
