CCPC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ATTENDS LAUNCH OF 2025 COMESA COMPETITION AND CONSUMER PROTECTION REGULATIONS IN LIVINGSTON

2026-02-25
The Executive Director of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), Mrs. Eunice Phiri Hamavhwa was in Livingstone, Zambia, where she she delivered remarks at the official launch of the 2025 Competition and Consumer Protection Regulations under the auspices of the COMESA Competition and Consumer Commission.
The landmark event marks a significant milestone for the COMESA region, as the 2025 Regulations represent the first comprehensive revision of the Commission’s regulatory framework since its establishment in 2004.
The revised framework reflects over two decades of practical experience, evolving market dynamics, and the increasing complexity of regional trade and cross-border commerce.
In her remarks, Mrs. Hamavhwa welcomed delegates on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Zambia and the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, describing the launch as a critical step toward strengthening regional cooperation and enforcement.
She noted that the revised regulations come at a pivotal time when markets are becoming more interconnected and increasingly influenced by digitalisation.
The launch follows a Digital Markets Workshop held in collaboration with the International Center for Law and Economics, which provided a platform for technical exchange and dialogue on emerging issues in the digital economy.
The event also included a Meeting of Heads of Competition and Consumer Protection Authorities, aimed at strengthening regional cooperation, peer learning, and strategic alignment to ensure effective implementation of the new regulations across Member States.
CCPC remains committed to advancing strong, effective, and harmonised competition and consumer protection regimes within the COMESA region.
