The DMA’s Annual Review: A Global Perspective on Digital Competition Regulation

One year after its implementation, the Digital Markets Act (DMA) is reshaping digital competition, fueling a global shift from traditional antitrust enforcement to preemptive regulation. But is this new approach fostering competition and innovation—or introducing unnecessary risks and uncertainty?

As some jurisdictions double down on interventionist economic policies, others remain at a crossroads, weighing the trade-offs between regulation and more market-driven solutions. Alternative models exist, offering better ways to balance competition enforcement with innovation.

Please join ITIF for a lively virtual discussion with experts from diverse regulatory landscapes as they unpack the DMA’s real-world impact, analyze global trends in digital regulation, and evaluate whether ex-ante rules are the right path forward for competition.
