Merger Control

Merger control is a regulatory process that reviews proposed mergers and acquisitions between companies to ensure they don’t harm competition in the market. When two companies plan to merge, regulators assess whether the new entity could create monopolies or reduce competition, leading to higher prices or fewer choices for consumers. If a merger is deemed harmful, it may be blocked or require changes to protect the market's competitive balance. Ultimately, merger control aims to foster a fair marketplace where businesses can compete fairly, benefiting consumers and the economy.
