Growth Programme
The CMA’s Microeconomics Unit Growth Programme will analyse barriers to technology diffusion, competition's role in investment, supply chain dynamics, and pro-growth policies.
The CMA’s Microeconomics Unit Growth Programme will focus analysis across a range of issues including:
-
barriers to the spread of new technology and knowledge across the economy, recognised in the report as a potential barrier to dynamism and growth
-
the role of competition in driving and directing productive investment
-
the strength of competition along supply chains, and the impact of ‘upstream’ market power on downstream sectors – reflecting the importance of competitive markets for key inputs to UK economic performance and resilience
-
pro-growth industrial policy interventions, and lessons from past experience and other countries, to help inform the UK government’s Invest 2035
