Antitrust Laws Enforcement

Antitrust laws are regulations that promote competition and prevent monopolies in the marketplace. They are enforced by government agencies, like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the U.S., which investigate unfair business practices, such as price-fixing or mergers that significantly reduce competition. The goal is to ensure consumers have choices, fair prices, and innovation. When companies violate these laws, they can face legal action, which may include fines or breaking up their businesses to restore competitive balance. Essentially, antitrust enforcement helps maintain a fair and open economy for everyone.
