Conclusion
Mr Gurr told us that fiscal constraints mean the CMA cannot expect to hire more people, and it must therefore make the most of those they have. Its 4P transformation programme is vital to achieving this, and he also pointed out that investments in AI will increase the CMA’s productivity. We expect the CMA to complete its 4P transformation programme, and free up resources to allow it to carry out more interventions and act more quickly to protect consumers. (Conclusion, Paragraph 27)
