EU Clears JD.com's $2.5 Billion Ceconomy Takeover

Original: EU Clears JD.com’s $2.5 Billion Ceconomy Takeover With Conditions on Chinese Subsidies

The European Union has approved JD.com's $2.5 billion acquisition of Ceconomy, the German electronics retailer behind MediaMarkt, subject to conditions addressing Chinese state subsidies. The decision clears a major Chinese e-commerce group's expansion into European retail, with commitments attached to address competition concerns over Beijing's financial support for the buyer.

Why now: Regulatory approval of a large Chinese takeover of a major European retailer is significant for EU trade and competition policy.
