Abstract
Competition in the economy creates a positive prospect for economic growth and
development. However, many developing countries are not in a position to develop
efficient competition law due to complex nature of market, limited capacity and lack of
experIence.
Though Ethiopia has only recent ly developed anti-trust law, the prevalence of anticompetitive
conducts is widespread. The market structure of the Ethiopia's beer industry
is duopoly type, and there is a dominant firm in the beer market i.e. BGI, though in it
practies has not been engaged in practices through abusing its dominant position. The
alleged dominant firm has not engaged in anti-compet itive agreements except exclusive
dealing & full-line forcing. There are unfair trade practices which should be
conected.such as giving hotel hostes uniforms, giving refirigrators for their costumers
and the like.
