Chile’s FNE says casino tender conditions pose no significant competition risk

Chile’s National Economic Prosecutor’s Office (FNE) told the Tribunal for the Defence of Free Competition that special conditions in casino operating tenders for Iquique, Coquimbo, Viña del Mar and Pucón did not create significant competition risks. At a public hearing on 9 September, the FNE said the requirements applied equally and were known to bidders, but warned that excessive costs could leave tenders unawarded; two of the four processes had done so.
