Competition and Markets Authority

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is a regulatory body in the UK responsible for promoting competition and protecting consumers. It ensures that businesses compete fairly and that no single company can dominate the market to the detriment of consumers. The CMA investigates mergers, monopolistic practices, and unfair trading, working to prevent practices that could lead to higher prices, fewer choices, or lower quality products and services. Through enforcement of competition laws, the CMA aims to create a fair marketplace that benefits both consumers and businesses.
