According to the “What’s New” portion on its website, on February 1, the Competition Commission of Singapore organized a unique outreach opportunity: an exclusive movie premier of The Informant! to demonstrate “how the economy, businesses and ordinary people are hurt when businesses conspire to fix prices.” See the link to a video of the event here.
