#191 What’s New in Mexico? The Battle for Jurisdiction Over Digital Markets

https://ourcuriousamalgam.com/episode-player/2429/191-mexico-jurisdiction-digital-markets.mp3?stats-code=ocaPodcastSite
Marta Loubet, White & Case LLP

Mexico’s Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE) is an autonomous agency responsible for competition law enforcement, policy and advocacy nationwide. At the same time, an entirely separate agency—the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT)—has jurisdiction to enforce the competition laws in the telecommunication and broadcasting sectors. How do the two agencies determine where one agency’s jurisdiction ends and the other agency’s begins? Marta Loubet, a competition lawyer based in Mexico City, joins Alicia Downey and Sarah Zhang to discuss the origins of the jurisdictional divide between COFECE and IFT, its relationship to COFECE’s ongoing digital markets initiatives, and what changes the future may bring. Listen to this episode to learn more about a unique and important feature of the Mexican competition regime.
