Ukraine: The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) has launched an investigation into Ireland-based CRH's acquisition of certain Central-Eastern European assets of Italy-based Buzzi Unicem. The assets in question include two Ukrainian cement plants. The AMCU will assess the potential impacts of the consolidation on the cement market in Ukraine. The parties concluded the deal in June 2023, and expected to conclude it in September 2024. The AMCU first rejected CRH's application to it in September 2023, but subsequently agreed to reopen its examination of the deal in October 2023.
