Abstract
The article considers the institute of state and municipal from the point of view of its impact on competition. Based on the analysis of the legislation and practice of making decisions by the antimonopoly bodies on giving consent to the granting of state or municipal preferences, studying the experience of the European Union, it is concluded that there is a threat of restricting competition even if the antimonopoly body agrees to grant preferences. The importance of the antimonopoly body's assessment of the proportion of positive and negative consequences of such provision of preferences is noted.
