The Board of Directors of the Egyptian Competition Authority (ECA) issued several temporary measures aimed to protect the gains resulting from the existing competition between Uber and Careem as well as to prevent adverse effects which may arise from the effect of any planned agreement or contract that might influence the competition between both companies.
