Antitrust Policy and Regulation

Antitrust policy refers to laws and regulations designed to promote fair competition and prevent monopolies in the marketplace. The goal is to protect consumers by encouraging choices, ensuring competitive prices, and fostering innovation. Regulators assess business practices that may unfairly limit competition, such as price-fixing, market division, or mergers that reduce competition significantly. By enforcing antitrust laws, authorities aim to create a level playing field for businesses and ensure that consumers benefit from a diverse array of products and services.
