  • The Reason Given for the UK's Decision to Float Sterling Was the Weight of International Short-Term Capital
    - Issue No. 181 No. 190, July 6, 1972 The Pound Afloat: The reason given for the U.K.'s decision to float sterling was the weight of international short-term capital movements which, despite concerted intervention from the Bank of England and European central banks, had necessitated massive sup­ port operations. The U.K. is anxious that the rate should quickly o.s move to a "realistic" level, at or around the old parity of %2. 40 - r,/, .• representing an effective 8% devaluation against the dollar. A w formal devaluation coupled with a wage freeze was urged by the :,I' Bank of England, but this would be politically embarrassing in the }t!IJ light of the U.K. Chancellor's repeated statements that the pound was "not at an unrealistic rate." The decision to float has been taken in spite of a danger that this may provoke an international or European monetary crisis. European markets tend to consider sterling as the dollar's first line of defense and, although the U.S. Treasury reaffirmed the Smithsonian Agreement, there are fears throughout Europe that pressure on the U.S. currency could disrupt the exchange rate re­ lationship established last December. On the Continent, the Dutch and Belgians have put forward a scheme for a joint float of Common Market currencies against the dollar. It will not easily be implemented, since speculation in the ex­ change markets has pushed the various EEC countries in different directions. The Germans have been under pressure to revalue, the Italians to devalue. Total opposition to a Community float is ex­ pected from France (this would sever the ties between the franc and gold), and the French also are adamant that Britain should re­ affirm its allegiance to the European monetary agreement and return to a fixed parity.

    Agenda Advancing economics in business Competition as a public policy tool: what is the evidence? A key priority for the government is to increase UK productivity by extending competitive markets. Competition helps drive productivity by acting as a spur to managerial incentives and productive efficiency through ‘natural selection’ of firm entry and exit, and by promoting incentives to innovate. However, as Andrew Rees, Director, Analysis and Research, Consumer and Competition Policy, DTI, and Sasha Maguire, Economist, DTI, explain, recent evidence on these effects is perhaps less well known The UK’s competition framework is generally rated As competition can drive 1 among the best in the world by independent surveys. innovation, so can innovation and The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is technological advances boost responsible for setting the legislative and regulatory competitive pressure, as has been parameters, with enforcement conducted by two the case in the telecommunications independent competition authorities: the Office of Fair sector Trading (OFT) and the Competition Commission.

  • A Competition Regime for Growth: a Consultation on Options for Reform
    A COMPETITION REGIME FOR GROWTH: A CONSULTATION ON OPTIONS FOR REFORM MARCH 2011 Explanation of the wider context for the consultation and what it seeks to achieve The Government’s overarching objective in reforming the UK’s, already world class, competition regime is to maximise the ability of the competition authorities to secure vibrant, competitive markets, in the interests of consumers and to promote productivity, innovation and economic growth. The Government is therefore consulting on changes to: o improve the robustness of decisions and strengthen the regime – enhancing the regime’s ability to resolve and deter the competition restrictions that do most harm to competition, consumers and to economic growth o support the competition authorities in taking forward high impact cases - developing the regime’s ability to target the competition restrictions that do most harm to competition, consumers and to economic growth, and providing the regime with the tools and flexibility to make proportionate and focused interventions o improve speed and predictability for business – building on the regime’s ability to take the timely, proportionate and predictable actions that limit burdens on business and that provide for the certainty that enables business to invest and innovate with confidence In this connection, the Government is consulting on a proposal to merge the competition functions of the Office of Fair Trading and the Competition Commission to create a single Competition and Markets Authority which can play a leading role in achieving the overarching objectives and delivering the desired outcomes.

  • State Owned Enterprises and the Principle of Competitive Neutrality 2009
    State Owned Enterprises and the Principle of Competitive Neutrality 2009 The OECD Competition Committee debated the application of competition rules to state owned enterprises and the principle of competitive neutrality in October 2009. This document includes an executive summary, a background note and an issues paper by Mr. Antonio Capobianco for the OECD and country contributions from Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Czech Republic, European Commission, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Korea, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Chinese Taipei, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States and BIAC, as well as two aides memoires for the discussions. Due to their privileged position SOEs may negatively affect competition and it is therefore important to ensure that, to the greatest extent possible consistent with their public service responsibilities, they are subject to similar competition disciplines as private enterprises. Although enforcing competition rules against SOEs presents enforcers with particular challenges, competition rules should, and generally do, apply to both private and state-owned enterprises, subject to very limited exceptions. Competition law alone is not sufficient in ensuring a level playing field for SOEs and private enterprises, which is why policies aimed at achieving competitive neutrality between the two play an essential role. Competitive neutrality can be understood as a regulatory framework (i) within which public and private enterprises face the same set of rules and (ii) where no contact with the state brings competitive advantage to any market participant. Presence of competitive neutrality policies is of particular importance in recently liberalised sectors, where they play a crucial role in leveling the playing field between former state monopoly incumbents and private entrants.
