The creation of a real-time price monitoring system for the timely prevention of unjustified growth, the automation of the process of conducting public procurement tenders to identify anti-competitive agreements, as well as a digital format for regulating housing and communal services tariffs are the key areas of the digital transformation of the Federal Antimonopoly Service. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko during a meeting of the department’s board.
The work of the FAS Russia covers all existing commodity markets, as well as the areas of tariff regulation, public procurement, and foreign investment control. The introduction of digital technologies and big data analysis allows us to significantly increase the efficiency of many processes, creating equal conditions for business and objective control over tariffs and prices for citizens.
“Today, the FAS is becoming more than just a supervisory body. The best system is one in which there are no violations. Digital solutions and big data analysis allow us to act preventively: to deal not with the facts of violations, but to prevent them at the stage of the problem’s emergence,” noted Dmitry Grigorenko.
Thus, the FAS of Russia, together with the Treasury of Russia, launched an information panel (dashboard) of the national system of price indicators. The service makes it possible to monitor exchange and over-the-counter transactions and display price indicators for groups of goods on one screen. Real-time analysis allows you to see the overall picture of pricing in the markets and combat speculation. At the moment, the dashboard monitors prices for gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, coal, bitumen and gas. In the future, the list of goods will be expanded.
The GIS “Anticartel” allows for daily automated scanning of information about all tenders conducted using artificial intelligence and a risk-oriented approach. Automation of the process increases the efficiency of identifying signs of anticompetitive agreements at tenders to combat cartels. In 2025, the service is planned to be integrated with the information systems of the Federal Tax Service of Russia, the Federal Customs Service of Russia, and electronic public procurement platforms.
The Federal State Information System “Tariff” provides for the transfer of all tariff regulation processes to a digital format and monitoring of the implementation of investment programs in the housing and communal services sector. Already in 2026, the document flow for setting housing and communal services tariffs, as well as the adoption of tariff decisions in housing and communal services and communications, will be transferred completely to electronic form. The examination of tariff applications and control over the implementation of investment programs will also be automated. This will significantly reduce the burden on regional tariff authorities and increase control by transferring document flow from paper to electronic.
