What occurs when two or more businesses secretly agree to set their prices artificially high and agree not to lower them?

This practice undermines free market competition, leading to increased prices for consumers and reduced choices. Such agreements are illegal in many jurisdictions, as they violate antitrust laws designed to promote fair competition and protect consumers. Companies found guilty of price fixing may face significant fines and legal penalties.
