Abstract
The Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission (FCCC) is Fiji s independent price regulatory institution. If price control measures are effective, they could contribute to inflation mitigation. This note tests the effectiveness of FCCC s price controlling role by proposing that it does not lead to inflation. Using time-series regression models, we establish the effect of FCCC s regulatory effectiveness and show that it contributes to a reduction in prices at least five months after regulated prices come into force. We find that inflation declines by 0.5% or 26% of the sample annualized inflation (which is 1.93%).
