Details

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has published a paper that considers the drivers of market resilience: that is, what makes some markets more vulnerable to harmful supply disruption than others.

Supported by a series of case studies, the paper also examines what role competition authorities and wider government can play to ensure that markets, particularly for essential goods and services, can meet the needs of people, businesses and the wider economy in both stable and unstable times.

In March 2022, the CMA published a working paper, Resilience and competition policy. This discussion paper builds on that earlier work.
