Order No. 2816-r of October 8, 2025
Improving the economic efficiency and competitiveness of enterprises and companies, preventing cartels, and ensuring equal access to public procurement—these and other objectives are reflected in the National Plan ("roadmap") for the Development of Competition for 2026–2030. The order approving it was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. A similar five-year plan, approved in 2021, expires at the end of this year.
The new roadmap consists of several sections dedicated to developing competition both generally and in specific economic sectors—agriculture, information technology and telecommunications, financial markets, healthcare, transportation, industry, trade, and tourism. Particular emphasis is placed on the development of information systems and digital services, which ensure the transparency of business processes and prevent unfair competition.
Thus, one of the objectives of the industry-wide block is the implementation of the Unified Information and Analytical System for Tariff Regulation in the work of regional government bodies overseeing state regulation of tariffs on goods and services. The Federal Antimonopoly Service will be responsible for this work. The deadline is December 1, 2026.
Another industry-wide initiative involves the launch of several new modules of the state information system for the prevention, detection, and suppression of agreements restricting competition (the "Anti-Cartel" State Information System). This goal has been set for the Federal Antimonopoly Service, which is scheduled to submit a corresponding report to the government in January 2029.
Efforts to promote competition in the agro-industrial complex also include the creation of a digital service for selecting agricultural land plots. Its launch is scheduled for 2028. This service is designed to make the land selection process transparent and competitive. The Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Digital Development, the Ministry of Finance, and Rosreestr have been appointed responsible for its creation.
In the field of information technology and telecommunications, the roadmap calls for the creation of a portal containing information on supply and demand for innovative, high-tech products and technologies. Information on the demand for innovations, which should provide a significant competitive advantage, will also be used to develop markets for goods, services, and technologies. The Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media will prepare proposals for the creation of such a portal by December 2027. Furthermore, the Federal Antimonopoly Service will develop draft laws on antitrust regulation of marketplaces by January 2028.
In the industrial sector, proposals will be developed to ensure equal access for both dealers and independent service stations to information necessary for vehicle repair and maintenance. The Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Economic Development, and the Federal Antimonopoly Service will present their proposals in this area as early as October 2026.
Changes to public procurement envisage the completion of the digitalization of procurement appeal procedures for certain types of legal entities. By 2030, it is planned to transition to 100% electronic filing of such complaints, which will greatly simplify the ability of applicants to protect their rights. The Federal Antimonopoly Service, the Ministry of Finance, and the Treasury of Russia are responsible.
Regional roadmaps for promoting competition development over the next five years must be approved by May 1, 2026.
A separate theme of the National Competition Development Plan is international cooperation. This involves expanding ties with the antitrust authorities of BRICS and SCO countries through the exchange of experience and the development of coordinated approaches to antitrust regulation, including in socially significant markets.
Commenting on the approved plan at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on October 6, Mikhail Mishustin noted that the development of competition is a constant focus for the Government.
"It concerns not only increasing the availability of essential goods and services for people and businesses, but also expanding their supply and improving their quality through innovation. Without this, achieving the national goals set by the head of state is impossible," the prime minister emphasized.
