UK: The Guernsey Competition and Regulatory Authority (GCRA) has found that ‘significantly’ higher-than-UK concrete prices do not constitute anti-competitive behaviour by sole local producer Ronez. Local press has reported that the producer’s prices were found to ‘reflect the structural realities and costs of operating in a small island market.’

GCRA CEO Michael Byrne said "There is no single quick fix, but this highlights clear ways that the Channel Islands can help improve how the market works, addressing long-standing barriers to supply, strengthening competition over time, and delivering better outcomes for consumers and taxpayers."
