    1 Background 1.1 Introduction There has been significant public concern regarding the competitiveness of retail prices in the grocery industry in Australia and the pricing of household grocery products. In particular there is concern that Australia has a highly concentrated grocery industry, and while inflation has been low in Australia over the last few years, grocery food prices have increased at a significantly higher rate than the headline inflation rate. In response to these concerns, the Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Competition Policy and Consumers Affairs wrote to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) on 22 January 2008, directing the ACCC to hold a public inquiry under Part VIIA of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (the Act) into the competitiveness of retail prices for standard groceries. A copy of this letter is at appendix A. 1.2 Terms of reference The instrument attached to the Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Competition Policy and Consumers Affairs’ letter stated: I, Chris Bowen, Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Competition Policy and Consumer Affairs, pursuant to section 95H(2) the Trade Practices Act 1974, hereby require the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to hold an inquiry into the competitiveness of retail prices for standard groceries. Matters to be taken into consideration by the inquiry shall include, but not be restricted to: • the current structure of the grocery industry at the supply, wholesale and retail levels including mergers and acquisitions by the national retailers
