We are seeking views on our Annual Plan for 2022 to 23.
The draft annual plan explains how we will protect consumers, foster competition and support low carbon growth right across the UK, during and after the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
We will focus on the following themes:
The image above shows our key themes as follows: Protecting Consumers; Fostering competition to promote long term growth right across the UK; Promoting competition in digital markets; Supporting low carbon growth; Delivering our new responsibilities.
Competition is important for sustainable economic growth. Businesses need to find ways to do things better to compete with each other. When businesses don’t compete prices go up, quality falls and the less well-off are the hardest hit.
We will grow the number of people in our offices in Cardiff, Belfast and Edinburgh and open new offices in Manchester and Darlington. This will help us continue to get closer to people right across the UK. We will do more to understand the problems people face when buying and selling, to explain what we do and to help make markets work better for them.
