    The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has given its nod for the proposed $62 billion acquisition of Shire (SHPG) by Japanese firm Takeda Pharmaceuticals. The merger, the largest ever by a Japanese company, was cleared sans any conditions. Takeda plans to close the acquisition during the first half of next year.
