Policy kicked off in Armenia today. The sitting features heads of
anti-monopoly bodies from about 14 countries. The participants discuss
most urgent issues that arise in the field of anti-monopoly policy

level of shadow economy, and not only the anti-monopoly organizations,
but also the government have something to do here. We have problems in
the field of tax administration. Closed roads also negatively impact
the internal competition. Problems become more tangible under the
conditions of the crisis. "However, the crisis provides an opportunity
to implement ambitions reforms, as well.
