Assessment of Regulatory Obstacles to Competition to Unlock Growth Potential in Kenya (The World Bank Group)

Lear provided consulting services for the analysis of product market regulation in Kenya. The project aimed at identifying those markets of the Kenyan economy that are currently suffering from anti-competitive regulations. Thanks to interviews with local stakeholders and interactions with the World Bank Group and the Competition Authority of Kenya, Lear’s economists gained a clear understanding on the conditions of local markets. The second phase of the project consisted in providing well-thought through recommendations to the Competition Authority of Kenya, suggesting feasible alternatives to current regulations and promoting their advocacy and enforcement roles.
