Competitive Neutrality

Competitive neutrality in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, competitive neutrality is: a concept relevant to the examination and administration of the nature of competition between private-sector firms and deregulated government monopolies. The need for competitive neutrality arises from the fact that removing barriers to market entry and ending government monopolies may not be enough to achieve genuine competition in that sector.

The remedy usually is some form of pro-competitive regulation. See also deregulation and re-regulation.[1]
