The Commerce Commission is New Zealand’s competition, consumer and regulatory agency.
We play a crucial role in ensuring New Zealand’s markets are competitive, consumers are well informed and protected, and sectors with little or no competition are appropriately regulated.
The Commission is an independent Crown entity responsible for enforcing laws relating to competition, fair trading, and consumer credit contracts. We also have regulatory responsibilities in the electricity lines, gas pipelines, telecommunications, dairy and airport sectors.
Our vision is that New Zealanders are better off because markets work well and consumers and businesses are confident market participants.

Our vision and strategy sets the direction for the Commission over a 5 year period. It describes the strategies that we will follow to make New Zealanders better off.
As part of our commitment to greater transparency and increasing the public's understanding of what we do and how we do it, we publish our priorities for each financial year.
