Acacia Economics, which began in 2013, is a boutique consultancy that offers expertise in competition, regulatory, and trade economics across emerging markets, with deep roots on the African continent. Our team has extensive experience in competition policy and has provided expert testimony, analysis, and expertise in a range of landmark South African cases encompassing mergers, cartels, prohibited practices, and regulatory processes. We also have a strong focus on institutional advice and capacity building, and work with numerous regional competition authorities and economic regulators. Our sector-specific expertise spans telecommunications and media, energy, healthcare, financial services, intermediate products and services, and consumer goods and retail. Our strength lies in our strong theoretical foundations, which, combined with our experience and our focus on in-depth contextual research provides an offering that is both rigorous and persuasive. Our experience and engagement across multiple regulatory authorities allows us to triangulate insights and develop submissions for clients that are consistent across regulatory processes.
