Answer:

promoting competition

Explanation:

If two competing companies come together, this can reduce competitiveness and affect prices, damaging consumers and economic activity as a whole. To curb this type of practice, when a proposed merger of competitors is required, regulatory agencies make technical analyzes based on precepts aimed at ensuring market stability. If the regulatory body concludes that this practice may unbalance the competitive environment, mergers will be prohibited.
