Cloud and cloud security are now essential infrastructure. Europe’s growing dependence on a handful of firms makes the economy more fragile, not stronger.

The Google–Wiz deal deserves serious scrutiny.

Trump revokes Biden-era order on competition, White House says WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday revoked a 2021 executive order on promoting competition in the U.S. economy issued by his predecessor Joe Biden, the White House said. The move by Republican Trump further unwinds a signature initiative by Biden, a Democrat, to crack down on anti-competitive practices in sectors from agriculture to drugs and labor. Biden signed a sweeping executive order in July 2021 to promote more competition in the U.S. economy as part of a broad push to rein in what his administration described as a pattern of corporate abuses, ranging from excessive airline fees to large mergers that raised costs for consumers. The initiatives, which were very popular with Americans, were championed by Biden officials, many of whom had previously worked for or with Senator Elizabeth Warren, who played a key role in creating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau under former President Barack Obama. Trump had attacked that agency since taking office, announcing plans to shrink its workforce by 90%. Biden’s order said it aimed to "enforce the antitrust laws to combat the excessive concentration of industry, the abuses of market power, and the harmful effects of monopoly and monopsony", focused on areas such as labor and healthcare.

US Government Undertakes Deregulation Effort to Reduce Regulatory Burdens The US government is launching a comprehensive effort to review and potentially reform existing regulations in order to promote market dynamism and consumer choice, driven by recent Executive Orders and supported by the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). As part of this initiative, public feedback has been solicited through comments from 173 submissions to the FTC and 396 submissions to the DOJ, highlighting recurring concerns about potential unintended consequences, regulatory complexity, and the need for data-driven decision-making in areas such as agriculture, environmental protections, and worker safety.

While the second Trump administration's initial moves in #antitrust enforcement suggested continuity, more recent actions outside the realm of antitrust enforcement have the potential to change #competitionpolicy dramatically, explains @jbbecon.bsky.social.

Are you being ripped off by the 'loyalty penalty'? From banks to insurance, companies punish loyal consumers with higher prices, while new customers are rewarded with better deals

They say loyalty pays. Not when it comes to your bills. A short piece from me on the loyalty penalty—why staying put can cost you more than you think, and what that means for competition.
