Antitrust Enforcement Guidelines

Antitrust Enforcement Guidelines are rules set by government agencies to promote fair competition and prevent monopolies. They help ensure that businesses don’t unfairly dominate the market or engage in practices that harm consumers, like price-fixing or collusion. By outlining acceptable and unacceptable behaviors, these guidelines aim to protect consumer choice and encourage innovation. When companies violate these rules, agencies can investigate and take action, such as imposing fines or blocking mergers that could lead to less competition. Ultimately, these guidelines serve to maintain a healthy economy where multiple businesses can compete fairly.
