Russia’s Antimonopoly Service Goes Fully Digital with Tariff Regulation
The country’s chief antitrust agency has begun deploying an upgraded national tariff information system on Russia’s unified state IT platform, Gostech.
The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) of Russia is moving tariff regulation into the digital era through a large-scale rollout of the updated state information system “Tariff,” built on the unified Gostech platform.
FAS head Maksim Shaskolsky and his deputy Nelli Galimkhanova presented the initiative at a conference in Sochi, noting that preliminary system trials have already been successfully completed.
The pilot phase of the renewed Federal State Information System “Tariff” began in 2024. Fifteen regions, including Moscow and Chelyabinsk oblasts, have already joined the testing program, providing active feedback and helping refine the platform’s functionality.
Nationwide implementation is scheduled for 2026, though much of the groundwork has already been done. The FAS reports significant results from the digital transformation process: the launch of data collection for utility investment programs, automated processing of expert reports in heat supply, and the creation of a federal register of approved tariffs and tariff decisions.
Additionally, more than one million historical records have been transferred into the system, and an analytical module has been integrated to process the data. By the end of 2025, the agency plans to create registers of regulated organizations and infrastructure and to fully digitize the process of reporting and oversight.
According to FAS, transitioning tariff regulation to the Gostech digital platform will ensure transparency and automation in a critical sector of the economy. The system will provide the government with real-time data for informed policymaking, enhance oversight efficiency, and create a unified digital space for collaboration between businesses and state institutions.
