CCCS begins in-depth review of Grab’s proposed acquisition of Trans-cab

The review ensures that the acquisition will not raise competition concerns.

The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) commenced the Phase 2 review of the proposed acquisition of Trans-cab by GrabRentals, following the submission of relevant documents by both parties to the commission on 25 January.

During the Phase 1 review of the acquisition, which concluded on 16 October 2023, the CCCS failed to confirm if the acquisition would not raise any competition concerns.

On 31 October 2023, Grab gave a commitments proposal, which CCCS said "did not adequately address" the competition concern surrounding the proposed acquisition.

For the Phase 2 review of the acquisition, Grab may present a revised commitments proposal subject to CCCS’ approval.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
