Doug Gurr, a former executive at Amazon, has been appointed interim chair of the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). This decision follows the ousting of the previous chair and comes as part of the UK government's strategy to enhance economic growth through supportive regulatory practices. The CMA plays a crucial role in enforcing antitrust regulations and ensuring fair trading practices. Gurr's previous experience at Amazon, where he oversaw significant operations, will influence the CMA's ongoing investigations into the tech company regarding issues like fake reviews and brand favoritism.
Gurr's appointment comes amid the UK government's emphasis on pro-business decisions to drive economic growth, especially with the CMA's scrutiny of major tech companies.
The CMA’s recent focus on Amazon includes investigations into customer protection against fake reviews and the preferential treatment of its own brands.
