The UK government department responsible for promoting competition, within and outside the UK, for the benefit of consumers.
The CMA:
- Inquires into mergers, markets, trade practices and the regulation of the major regulated industries under competition law; and

The CMA was formed by the merger of the Competition Commission with certain responsibilities of the Office of Fair Trading.
