The prioritized sectors are not expressly specified due to the confidentiality of the research.
However, priority will be given to the following markets: a) those related to basic shopping basket goods; b) concentrated markets with entry barriers; and c) markets where there are indications of anticompetitive behavior based on the monitoring of public sources and/or informative reports.
Additionally, the PAF specifies that priority will be given to cases involving conduct subject to absolute prohibition (cartels).

The PAF specifies that, notwithstanding the aforementioned sectors, Indecopi may carry out additional unplanned auditing actions in response to evidence of possible noncompliance with auditable obligations that pose a risk equivalent to that of the prioritized sectors.
In this scenario, the timely implementation of compliance programs by companies in the sectors identified by Indecopi is particularly relevant to successfully face the authority's enforcement actions.
