CMA prioritisation principles

Details

To make efficient and effective use of public resources, the CMA needs to prioritise the work it does. This is particularly true as we do not have the resources to act in all instances where it would be beneficial.

These principles set out the factors we’ll consider when deciding whether to act in an area, if:

  • the area falls under our remit
  • we have discretion to act in the area
  • the area is not governed by a separate prioritisation framework

Read these principles alongside our latest Annual Plan and the UK government’s strategic steer to the CMA.
