Gazdasági Versenyhivatal

The Gazdasági Versenyhivatal (GVH) is Hungary's competition authority, an independent state body reporting directly to Parliament, headquartered at Alkotmány utca 5, District V (Belváros-Lipótváros), near Kossuth tér and the Parliament building. Established in 1991 under Hungary's first competition statute, the GVH enforces antitrust law, reviews mergers, supervises unfair commercial practices, and monitors state aid in line with EU regulations. Legal professionals at GVH handle cartel investigations, dominance cases, and dawn raid procedures.
