Competition Commission charges Wesbank and Toyota for collusion
“The Competition Commission has referred motor vehicle finance groups FirstRand Bank,
Wesbank, and Toyota Financial Services South Africa Limited (TFS) to the Competition
Tribunal for prosecution on allegations of dividing the market by allocating customers or
suppliers.
The Commission’s investigation revealed that Wesbank and TFS entered into an
agreement to divide markets by allocating customers or suppliers in the market for the
provision of vehicle finance in contravention of section 4(1)(b)(ii) of the Competition Act.
The motor vehicle finance market includes offering vehicle finance, leases, and
dealerships financing.
“FirstRand Bank Limited (FirstRand), through its WesBank division, and TFS are involved in
the provision of vehicle finance services. They are therefore supposed to compete. They,
however, concluded a shareholder agreement which contains clauses that prevent them
from competing,” the commission said.”

Assume that the competition commission has not found out about the collusion of
Toyota and Wesbank and no charges currently exist. Does the possibility of one company
cheating exist, if so why?
a. No, because there is no incentive to cheat in this instance since profits will always
remain low when Toyota or Wesbank operates individually.
b. No, because a company stand to gain more by providing vehicle finance at the collusion
level and not at the cournot level.
c. Yes, because a company stand to gain more by providing vehicle finance at the cournot
level and not at the collusion level.
d. It is impossible to say since more information is needed.
