This report seeks to codify penalties for violation of competition laws from around the globe. Where possible, the competition law, itself, is the source for information penalties. In some circumstances, secondary sources (e.g., competition authority reports) were used to determine how a nation punishes infringements of its competition laws.

Imprisonment is only coded when it is a punishment for violation of anticompetitive practices. Imprisonment for failure to cooperate with competition authority proceedings or failure to pay fines was not included in this report.
