Proposed sale of Tesco’s businesses in Thailand and Malaysia to a combination of CP Group entities, namely C.P. Charoen Pokphand Group, Thailand’s largest conglomerate, has sealed a deal with 9 financial institutions to undertake a $10.6 billion acquisition of TESCO’s operations in South East Asia, totaling some 1,965 stores in Thailand and Malaysia. According to The Edge Markets, in April 2o20, Tesco and Thailand’s CP Group signed in March to sell Tesco’s business in Thailand and Malaysia to CP Group for an enterprise value of US$10.6 billion (RM43.15 billion). TCC currently owns the Big C hyper-market store chain, bought from France’s Casino Guichard Perrachon and the Central Group in 2016, and is currently Tesco-Lotus’ main rival in the hyper-market segment. “If you separate the market segments, they can say, ‘oh, we do not dominate.’ But Makro has no direct competitor and in the convenience stores they dominate the market, so the OTCC would have to prove that altogether it is a big market share,” said Chatrchai, currently an advisor to Thai Retailers Association. That means shared prosperity is not increasing,” she elucidated. “This joint investment will boost sales of both Tesco and CPF. Between 2015 to 2018, Thailand’s poverty rate increased from 7.2% to 9.8%, with the number of Thais living in poverty rising from 4.8 million to 6.7 million, a recent World Bank report said. If the Tesco deal goes through, the CP Group will add 1,574 Tesco Express stores to its network, controlling 12,500 of the estimated 16,000 brand name convenience stores nationwide. Thailand remains one of the world’s most unequal societies and poverty is actually on the rise despite respectable economic growth rates, according to World Bank data. British supermarket chain Tesco has agreed to a $10.6 billion deal to sell all its stores in Thailand and Malaysia to companies belonging to the CP Group, Thailand's biggest conglomerate. “If TCC had won it they would have had a real monopoly over the hyper-market segment, but with the CP deal it is not clear that it is a monopoly,” said Chatrchai Tuongratanaphan, former executive director of the Thai Retailers Association. Part of the blame can be placed on declining global commodity prices and drought over the past six years, to be sure, but some can also be attributed to the unequal control of key segments of the economy that stifles productivity gains and discourages foreign direct investment. In Malaysia, the company started operating in 2002 under the name Tesco Malaysia as part of a joint venture with Sime Darby Berhad. Tesco Malaysia Sold For RM2.95 Billion To Thai Company CP Group. Charoen Pokphand Group or CP Group has won the bidding to acquire Tesco Lotus both stores in Thailand and Malaysia at the total value of Baht 338 billion.. “CP and Tesco are shrewd enough to know that.”. “CP has the biggest share of the retail market, but they have divided it up between convenience stores, cash and carry and hyper markets,” said Chatrchai. The CP Group was not the only big Thai conglomerate to bid on Tesco. At present, however, Central Group has no presence in the hyper-market sector. “The Thai retail market is diverse, competitive, dynamic and expanding with players of all sizes – this will not change as a result of the transaction,” the source said. “Without competition it is unlikely that innovation is taking place or the incentive for innovation is much lower, and then there is less opportunity for productivity growth and with less productivity growth firms cannot pay higher wages for workers, so wage growth is low. “What the OTCC should be looking for is how CP dominates the retail market through its various outlets: Makro in cash and carry, 7-Eleven in convenience stores,” Thammasart University’s Pavida said.

TCC and Central offered less for Tesco, about $9.3 billion and $7.1 billion respectively, but may have lost the bid for other reasons, industry sources say.

Sime Darby has registered a gain of RM270 million from the sale of its stake in Tesco Stores in Malaysia. As the Thai economy recovered from the crisis, so too did the CP Group’s bottom line. “As a general matter, competition authorities globally focus on where the parties’ activities overlap in the same relevant antitrust market. Tesco mempunyai lebih daripada 2,000 rangkaian pasaraya dan kedai di Thailand di bawah jenama Lotus Tesco. “If you have high market concentrations, the incentives to innovate and to take part in price competition is low,” said Birgit Hansl, World Bank country manager for Thailand. // ]]>//
