The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is reviewing concerns that fuel retailers are not fully passing on wholesale price reductions to consumers, which could lead to further regulatory scrutiny and market investigations.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face increased scrutiny on how fuel prices adjust to wholesale changes, opening a door to challenge current pricing practices. This is a chance to review your pricing and transparency before regulators demand changes.
