Avances en la constitución de la Autoridad Nacional de la Competencia

El 23 de julio de 2025 la Secretaría de Industria y Comercio aprobó las ternas correspondientes al proceso de selección de la Autoridad Nacional de la Competencia (“ANC”), para la cobertura de cargos de Presidente y de cuatro vocales del Tribunal de Defensa de la Competencia, de Secretario Instructor de Conductas Anticompetitivas, y de Secretario de Concentraciones Económicas.

Esta medida representa un avance formal clave en la creación de la ANC, establecida por la Ley N° 27.442 de Defensa de la Competencia.

Se recuerda que, en virtud de lo dispuesto en la Ley N° 27.442, una vez que la ANC sea puesta en funcionamiento, comenzará a correr el plazo de 1 año para que entre en vigencia el control ex ante de concentraciones económicas. Hasta ese momento, las concentraciones económicas se seguirán analizando ex post.

Para mayor información, por favor contactar a Luis D. Barry, M. Carolina Abdelnabe Vila y Clara Rodríguez Llanos.

Advances in the establishment of the National Competition Authority

This measure represents a key formal step in the creation of the ANC, established by Antitrust Law No. 27,442.
