The Fair Trading Commission works with Barbadian businesses on several different fronts. We promote and maintain competition in the Barbadian market by monitoring the business environment to prevent anti-competitive behaviour which would harm business. The Commission also strives to create a culture where competition can thrive by informing and educating businesses and consumers about the benefits of efficient and competitive markets.
