Mergers in Asia-Pacific: the new legislative landscape. RBB’s Yan Yu
Yan YuPartner will join a panel session discussing this topic at the Concurrences Asia-Pacific Conference in Hong Kong next month.
The discussion will examine major recent shifts in merger control and competition enforcement across the wider Asia-Pacific. Highlights include India’s rapid clearance of a major insurance deal by Bajaj Group, China’s new guidelines on SEPs and horizontal mergers, and the Philippines’ growing use of behavioural remedies in digital markets. Australia’s upcoming 2026 merger rule changes are already shaping 2025 deal timelines. A key focus will be India’s 2023 Competition Amendment Act, introducing a deal-value threshold and settlement framework, with new CCI guidance released in May 2025. The panel will provide comparative insights into how jurisdictions are adapting competition regimes to evolving market and regulatory dynamics.
The full agenda is available on the Concurrences event page.
