merger reviews

Merger reviews are evaluations conducted by government agencies to assess whether combining two companies would harm competition. When companies plan to merge or acquire each other, regulators examine details like market share, consumer impact, and potential for monopolies. The goal is to ensure that mergers don’t lead to higher prices, reduced choices, or less innovation. If a merger is found problematic, regulators can require changes or even block the deal. This process helps maintain a healthy, competitive marketplace that benefits consumers and the economy.
