Electronic Newsletters

7Up3 E-newsletter (7Update)

News stories and articles pertaining to competition and regulatory issues are very scarce in the 7Up3 project countries (Botswana, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia and Uganda). Therefore, the 7Up3 e-newsletter intends to fill up this void by presenting news related to the subject from the project countries, every once in two months. A brief overview of the project progress is also provided at the outset.

7Up2 E-newsletter

This is a bi-monthly e-newsletter of CUTS Centre for Competition, Investment & Economic Regulation (CUTS C-CIER). This e-newsletter, apart from providing a brief overview of the 7Up2 project progress also presents news stories/articles from the project countries (i.e., India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam) on competition and regulation related issues.
