Aruba Fair Trade Authority

Over Aruba Fair Trade Authority

The Aruba Fair Trade Authority (AFTA) is the independent competition authority of Aruba, an administrative body with legal personality. In this way, the independent of the Authority in the performance of its duties can best be guaranteed.

AFTA promotes and monitors fair and effective competition in Aruba. This means that competition between companies is not prevented, restricted or distorted, and that companies may not abuse their dominant position. In an effectively competitive market, companies do their utmost to meet the needs of consumers.

This contributes to lower prices, more choice, higher quality, and new innovative products and services for the consumer. Companies benefit from a level playing field, a better investment climate, and better opportunities for new companies without unnecessary entry barriers. The result to be achieved is economic growth and greater prosperity in Aruba.

The core task of AFTA is to implement the Competition Ordinance [Mededingingsverordening AB Official Bulletin 2020 No. 103], in particular by conducting oversight and enforcing the statutory rules of play. The Authority has effective investigative and enforcement instruments for this purpose. AFTA will also give the Government of Aruba solicited and unsolicited advice on the impact on competition of existing and proposed laws and regulations.
