CMA's approach to markets work

This document sets out the approach that the CMA will take to using its markets powers in the coming years, including:

• our ambition for a markets regime that drives maximum benefit for consumers, businesses and the UK economy

• practical changes to how the CMA will work to reflect our ‘4Ps’ framework, the UK government’s Regulation Action Plan and strategic steer

• what stakeholders can expect from us – from business and consumer groups, to other UK bodies with policy and regulatory oversight for markets we are looking at

We willare publishconsulting aon further consultation in late summer 2025 on revised draft markets guidance that will incorporate these changes to reflect our 4Ps approach.
