Hungarian Competition Authority

By protecting competition, the Hungarian Competition Authority (GVH) creates financial benefits for consumers, which can be at least partially quantified. The quantification is carried out via a so-called ex-ante impact assessment which applies easy-to-use but comprehensive methods to reach approximate results which are in aggregate not exaggerated.
