| Competition assessment of Portugal |
| Increased competition in markets for products and services can improve a country’s economic performance, open business opportunities and reduce the cost of goods and services to the benefit of consumers. However, it is often the case that numerous laws and regulations restrict, rather than help, competition in the marketplace. This two-volume report identifies and assesses regulatory barriers to competition in Portugal's transportation and self-regulated professions sectors. The report makes 765 recommendations for change which, if fully implemented, could be expected to generate a total positive impact on the Portuguese economy of close to EUR 400 million per year. |
