Recommendation 3

3 Acknowledged Paragraph: 39

The CMA is generally well regarded domestically.

Conclusion
The CMA is generally well regarded domestically. However, awareness of its work appears to be low in the UK, both amongst the public and amongst businesses. We agree that awareness of the CMA’s work and the value which it adds is necessary if it is to have credibility. We encourage the CMA to be more proactive in explaining to the public how its work has delivered for consumers, both in its annual reporting and its press notices.
Government response summary AI-generated
The CMA agrees it is important to communicate effectively and is using press notices and news stories, the 2023/24 draft Annual Plan, and the consultation process to identify and engage with a wider range of stakeholders.
