Grab and Trans-cab deal called off

Both parties have withdrawn their application from the CCCS.

Grab’s proposed acquisition of Trans-cab Holdings via GrabRentals has been called off, as both parties agreed to withdraw the deal, the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) said.

Accordingly, the competition watchdog has ended its assessment of the proposed acquisition after both parties have withdrawn their application.

The CCCS previously stated that the proposed acquisition could significantly reduce competition in Singapore's ride-hail market. The deal would entrench Grab’s position and disadvantage rival platforms by limiting their access to drivers from Trans-cab.

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.
