The Regional Guidelines published in 2010 serves as reference for AMS that are in the process of drafting or introducing competition law for the first time.  The revised version of the Regional Guidelines, have been amended to reflect the current status of competition law and competition authorities in ASEAN.  Nine out of 10 AMS have already introduced their law and established a competition authority while the progress in Cambodia is ongoing with the law expected to be passed soon.

The revised Regional Guidelines serves as a general framework for the AMS as they continue to introduce, implement, enforce and develop CPL in accordance with the specific legal and economic context of each AMS. The Guidelines provide guidance on both enforcement and administrative issues and set out different policy and institutional options for consideration of the AMS.
