Summary/Abstract: National and supranational competition authorities, acting individually or as part of international networks, reacted widely and rapidly to the outbreak and crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic. It seems possible to identify certain global trends in the activities of these authorities. The purpose of this article is to identify the most important of these trends and then try to assess whether they were adequate, proportionate and evidence-based. As a result of the analysis, it becomes possible to determine, to a certain extent, whether the actions of competition authorities are more of a self-promotion or whether they bring about significant, revolutionary changes in the practice of applying competition law
