Aruba Implements New Law to Protect Consumers
In a significant move for Aruba’s business and consumer sectors, the Council of Ministers recently approved a new law to protect consumers. This law strengthens consumer rights and promotes fair market practices. As a result, Aruba is taking a crucial step toward creating a more professional and inclusive economy. This change also boosts consumer confidence in local businesses.
The Aruba Fair Trade Authority (AFTA) will enforce the new law. AFTA monitors potential violations of consumer rights and ensures business compliance. If companies break the law, AFTA can impose administrative fines and take action. Moreover, AFTA educates the public about consumer rights and guides businesses on fair competition practices.
This legislative milestone seeks to strengthen Aruba’s market by promoting fair competition and enhancing the position of both businesses and consumers. It encourages businesses to adopt transparent and fair practices, which will help build customer trust and support long-term economic growth.
Aruba has long needed legislation to properly address consumer rights. Now, with this law, consumers will have better protection in their daily transactions. By promoting fair trade and protecting consumer interests, Aruba strengthens its economy. This makes the island more appealing to both local and foreign investors.
Minister Geoffrey Wever, a strong supporter of the law, stated, “I am very pleased that the consumer protection law has been finalized. This is a concrete step towards improving the position of every citizen as a consumer and part of building Aruba’s economy to be much more professional and inclusive.”
With this law, Aruba’s market will become more competitive, fair, and transparent. It will encourage better business practices and shield consumers from unfair trade activities. For more information about the Aruba Fair Trade Authority and its responsibilities, visit their official website.
