The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) announced that it had not received any formal notification from Grab or GoTo regarding their reported merger discussions. This statement came amidst ongoing media speculation about a potential consolidation between the two Southeast Asian tech giants.
The CCCS confirmed its awareness of the media reports concerning a possible merger. The commission indicated its openness to engaging with the parties through its established merger notification and pre-notification discussion processes.
The competition watchdog advised both Grab and GoTo to seek legal counsel to ensure any proposed merger complies with Singapore's competition laws. This regulatory oversight highlights potential hurdles for any large-scale consolidation in the region's digital services market.
