Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday said that to ensure ease
of doing business, it is essential that there is greater presence of
Competition Commission of India (CCI) offices across the country.
In her address after virtually inaugurating the CCI's regional
office (western) and releasing the advocacy booklets in Urdu and
Punjabi, she said that challenges of digitisation can't be ignored and
therefore, it is important for Indian competition authorities to
benchmark themselves at par with global competition watchdogs.
Sitharaman
said that with rising competition related issues, the CCI should keep
itself abreast of new and evolving laws prevalent around the world and
also the best practices.
The Finance Minister also emphasised on
the importance of the CCI to remain visible and proactive, as being
approachable would instil greater confidence among people about it.
