In 2025, the President of UOKiK made significant strides in competition and consumer protection, issuing 900 decisions and imposing fines amounting to 1.15 billion PLN. The authority's actions targeted various sectors, including e-commerce, finance, and agriculture, emphasizing the need for transparency and fair competition.

UOKiK's efforts included addressing manipulative promotions in e-commerce, misleading eco-marketing by major brands, and market collusions affecting Polish farmers. The authority's proactive stance has led to real changes in business practices, reinforcing the message that transparency and fair competition are essential standards.

Among the notable decisions, UOKiK imposed fines on banks for mishandling consumer credit holiday requests and on telecom operators for unfair billing practices. The authority also initiated proceedings against companies for using abusive clauses in contracts and misleading marketing aimed at children.

UOKiK's actions against anti-competitive agreements included significant fines for companies involved in price-fixing and market division in the agricultural machinery sector. The authority's commitment to combating collusion in the labor market was also highlighted, with investigations into agreements limiting employee mobility.

Overall, UOKiK's 2025 report reflects a year of decisive actions aimed at protecting consumers and ensuring fair competition, with plans to continue these efforts in 2026 despite budgetary challenges.
