Anti-monopoly Policy

Anti-monopoly policy refers to laws and regulations aimed at promoting competition and preventing monopolies—situations where a single company dominates a market. Such policies seek to ensure that no single business can control prices or supply, which helps protect consumers from unfair practices and fosters innovation. Governments, through agencies like the Federal Trade Commission in the U.S., monitor and regulate mergers, acquisitions, and business practices to maintain a fair marketplace, allowing smaller companies to thrive and giving consumers more choices at competitive prices.
