Mergers and acquisitions can have a significant impact on competition in the marketplace. That’s why the GCRA plays an important role in reviewing these transactions to ensure they don’t harm competition or negatively affect consumers and businesses in Guernsey.

If you’re considering a merger or acquisition involving Guernsey, certain transactions may require our approval before they can proceed. This is to ensure that the combined entity does not unfairly dominate the market or reduce consumer choice.

Our review process assesses the potential impact of mergers and acquisitions on competition and ensures that markets remain open and fair. We work to strike a balance between fostering innovation and protecting the interests of both businesses and consumers.
