Singapore competition watchdog has yet to receive guidance on Grab-GoTo proposed merger

SINGAPORE, March 19 (Reuters) - The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore said on Wednesday it has not received any notification from ride and delivery companies Grab or GoTo on a proposed merger.

"CCCS is open to engaging with the parties via our merger notification and pre-notification discussion processes," it said in an emailed statement to Reuters.

The commission said it is aware of media reports regarding talk of a possible merger between the two companies.

It said the parties should seek legal advice on whether any proposed merger complies with competition law in Singapore.
