Centre for Economic & Competition Intelligence
CECI is an independent, non-profit, non-partisan research and convening platform that brings together regulators, law firms, banks, and corporates around the implementation-level questions that determine how deals are structured, disputes are resolved, and compliance programmes are designed in Pakistan and across the region.
Its work is organised as a permanent institute: the annual FECSI Forum, quarterly Leaders Roundtables under the Chatham House Rule, five Practice-Area Labs, a subscription Intelligence Suite, and executive training.
Five practice-area tracks
- M&A & Cross-Border Transactions
- Dispute Resolution & Enforcement
- Compliance & Investigations
- Competition & Digital Markets
- AI, Data & Cybersecurity
Anchored by the FECSI Forum, the annual flagship convening of regulators, law firms, banks, and corporates on economic security, competition, FDI, and strategic investment.
