Financial liberalization and international integration in the late 1980s had a major impact on economies worldwide. The new regulatory changes and the entry into a more globalized economy would have incorporated the need to direct greater growth and development to the financial sector. In this sense, a new challenge was incorporated for financial institutions in Latin America to apply different strategies that allow them to establish competitive advantages in a more demanding world economy. Among these strategies, horizontal merger agreements have been incorporated into numerous financial entities as a corporate strategy with the potential to generate operating synergies, allow a larger corporate size, increase market share, reinforce efforts to improve the levels of market power that allows you to defend your position in the sector and obtain higher levels of profitability according to the standards allowed by your regulatory entity. This document presents an empirical analysis of the impact of horizontal mergers on the performance of entities in the Peruvian financial sector measured by market power through the Lerner Index during the years 2012-2019. The findings reveal that the practice of horizontal mergers in financial institutions has a positive and significant impact on market power in a short and long-term period. However, the persistent competition in the non-banking microcredit market and the adequate regulation by the supervisory entity (SBS) to encourage free competition and the control of said strategy in the financial industry would dissuade the possibility of exercising market power for conduct anticompetitive.
