(Reuters) – Britain’s competition regulator said on Tuesday it was possible that the $44 billion purchase of London-based IHS Markit Ltd by information provider peer S&P Global (NYSE:) could lead to a significant reduction of competition in the country.

CMA, the Competition and Markets Authority also indicated that they would approve the merger in case of competition concerns regarding certain price assessments for commodities.
