CA Publicises Post Merger Impact Assessment Report

The Competition Authority has been assessing mergers and acquisitions; and making determinations pertaining to mergers and acquisitions since November 2011. The merger assessment provisions are contained under Part X of the Competition Act (Cap 46:09). The Authority’s mandate with regards to the assessment of mergers and acquisitions does not end at the stage of issuing a decision but extends to the post-decision stage through conducting compliance monitoring and post-merger impact assessments. The post-merger impact assessments are intended to establish the market effects of the decisions taken by the Authority.

The post-merger assessments provide an opportunity to check whether the conditions/remedies imposed were sound, given the information available at the time; and if the assumptions on which the conditions were made were sensible.

As part of the Competition Week (4-8 December 2017) celebrations, the Authority today (7^th December) held a press conference to share with the media the Post Merger Impact Assessment Report.
