The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is the principal competition regulator in the United Kingdom. It is a non-ministerial government department in the United Kingdom, responsible for strengthening business competition and preventing and reducing anti-competitive activities. The CMA launched in shadow form on 1 October 2013 and began operating fully on 1 April 2014, when it assumed many of the functions of the previously existing Competition Commission and Office of Fair Trading, which were abolished. The CMA also has consumer protection responsibilities and will be taking on digital markets regulation responsibilities in early 2024.
The CMA is widely viewed as one of the foremost antitrust agencies in the world, alongside the European Commission, the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission.[4][5]
