As antitrust and competition authorities (both in Singapore and the region) continue to actively monitor markets / transactions and take enforcement action, businesses must stay ahead of the game.
We outline in this update five insights from 2024 that we anticipate will shape the antitrust landscape in 2025, namely:
• Proactive merger control enforcement and pre-emptive interventions in concentrated markets;
• Continued crackdown on bid-rigging;
• Tougher enforcement and harsher penalties;
• Shifting regulatory concerns due to evolution in market conditions; and
• Competition law considerations in sustainability initiatives.
