Control del abuso de posición de dominio en los mercados digitales financieros en Ecuador.

Abstract

As time goes by, little by little markets had to be regulated due to the constant abuse of dominant position and excluding pacts that certain economic agents that had been blessed with inmense capital and development have wished to implement in order to destroy the competition. This is the reason why in the ecuadorian territory exists an entity called Superintendence of Market Power Control, which regulates anticompetitive conducts that occur within the country, behaviour that impedes the expansion of markets and the consumer freedom to choose what product or service the acquire, however, with the advancement of technology, new digital markets have been created that represent new challenges that leave in complete obsolescence the actual statutory law and regulations implemented given the fact that these do not directly control the digital space. Without any law to control these new problems and challenges, it can very easily lead to an abuse of dominant position within the market due to the fact that not all the current regulations are applicable, especially when it comes to a sector with big and powerful agents like the digital financial markets.
