Competitive Prices Act: Combating Hidden Price Coordination

This act aims to make it easier to combat companies that secretly coordinate prices, which leads to higher costs for consumers. It will give citizens and government agencies a better chance to prove such practices, potentially resulting in lower prices for products and services and greater fairness in the market.
Key points
Makes it easier to prove illegal price-fixing arrangements between companies, even without an explicit agreement.
Strengthens consumer protection against price collusion, potentially leading to more competitive prices.
Changes the rules for proving tacit agreements, providing greater opportunities for civil claims in courts.
