Mexico’s antitrust regulator has blocked an alliance formed by three supermarket retailers to compete against retail giant Wal-Mart de Mexico (Walmex).
Mexican retailers Gigante, Soriana and Comerci formed a joint purchasing venture called Sinergia last year which aimed to obtain better prices from suppliers so that the retailers could better compete with Walmex,

Walmex is majority owned by US retail titan Wal-Mart.
