In August 2017, INDECOPI approved and published the Clemency Program Guide, which facilitates the process that must be followed by companies who request to be considered for the process. The Clemency Program Guide, an essential tool to dismantle cartels that generate losses for the economy, was awarded in the international Antitrust Writing Awards 2018 contest.

The study also highlights the important positive effect on Peruvian families of the work carried out by the Free Competition Commission (CLC) in the detection and dismantling of price-fixing outfits.
