Event Synopsis: In the past two decades, anti-cartel enforcement has progressed rapidly and extraordinarily across the globe. In the United States, effective anti-cartel enforcement began about a century ago, regulating purely domestic cartels. It was only until the late 1980s when the U.S. started imposing criminal fines on international cartels. In 1990, the United States and the European Union dominated the business of charging fines on international cartels. In the years that followed, the Rest of the World (ROW) antitrust authorities, including those in Africa, Asia and Latin America, have bolstered the number of cartel decisions and the amount of their fines. However, in 2015, the total global cartel fines fell while fines in the U.S. surged. The decline was seen most notably in the EU and Brazil. The table seems to turn when fines in the U.S. declined in mid-2016 while EU's fine figures are expected to rebound substantially this year. Recent studies suggest several reasons for this shift. Whatever the reasons may be, businesses in the U.S. and around the globe should keep themselves abreast of anti-cartel enforcement trends if they aim to avoid unwanted pitfalls.
