A new entity — the Jamaica Consumer and Competition Authority — is coming to replace the Consumer Affairs Commission (CAC) and the Fair Trading Commission (FTC).
Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce Senator Aubyn Hill opened the debate on the Jamaica Consumer and Competition Authority Act, 2026, in the Senate last Friday.
In his overview of the Bill, Hill explained that the impending merger of the two entities forms part of the public sector rationalisation process. He noted that the Government mandated the merger of the FTC and CAC into a new entity in accordance with Cabinet Decision No 20/18, dated June 4, 2018.
