Published By GOV.UK [English], Wed, Sep 1, 2021 12:46 AM
With the goal of more open economies, this project aims to identify how the UK can partner with Malaysia on competition policy, especially on SOEs and eventually contribute to more open competition, trade and investment. The UK is committed to work together with governments, civil society, research-based organisations, academia, multilateral partners and the private sector to support this effort.

engage with various stakeholders (governments, regulators, businesses, multilaterals, civil societies etc.) to identify implementation gaps
identify key actors that shape the CA2010 as well as its implementation by SOEs
