On the Experience of Price Regulation in the Retail Consumer Goods Sector: Current Issues of Regulatory Framework and Enforcement Practices of Antitrust Authorities
EDN: LLNAAV
Abstract
The article discusses topical issues of regulation of consumer goods prices, including existing legislation in this area and the practices of both direct state price regulation (enforced by regulatory legal acts) and alternative mechanisms for curbing price increases applied in 2020—2024 (agreements on setting maximum price levels (markups) for goods, voluntary commitments by economic entities to limit price increases for goods). The authors summarize recent experiences in the regulation (including 'soft' regulation) of consumer goods prices and, based on the conducted analysis, propose recommendations for improving the enforcement practices of antitrust authorities in monitoring compliance with legislation in this field.
