New Rules for Disclosing Foreign Subsidies in Company Mergers
This act requires companies planning mergers or acquisitions in the U.S. to disclose any subsidies received from foreign governments. This aims to ensure that such transactions do not violate fair competition rules and do not harm American consumers. This provides citizens with assurance that the market is more transparent and companies operate on a level playing field.
Key points
Companies seeking mergers or acquisitions in the U.S. must now disclose if they have received financial support from foreign governments.
Antitrust authorities, such as the Federal Trade Commission, will have more information to assess whether mergers are fair and legal.
The goal is to protect competition in the U.S. market and prevent unfair practices that could affect prices and product availability for citizens.
