Statute overview

About this statute

This law governs competition and consumer protection. This article defines key terms used in the law, including contracts, competition concepts, business actors, and the regulatory authority. This provision says the law applies to economic activities linked to business that affect consumers or competition in Rwanda, with listed exceptions. Horizontal agreements that reduce competition are prohibited, and the Regulatory Authority may add other prohibited horizontal practices. Certain vertical agreements are prohibited, but a supplier or producer may recommend a minimum resale price if the recommendation is clearly non-binding and the product is labeled “recommended price.”
