Karen Karapetyan proposed to tighten control over the dominant companies in the market on the eve of the New Year

ArmInfo. Prime Minister of  Armenia Karen Karapetyan, on the eve of the New Year, proposed to the  State Commission for the Protection of Economic Competition to  strengthen control over the dominant companies in the market.  According to him, during the New Year holidays, due to the sharp  economic activity, the demand for consumer goods is several times  higher.

The latter, as the head of government pointed out, contains  certain risks of unreasonable increase in the value of goods. Taking  into account this circumstance and the fears existing in the society,  in order to avoid unreasonable increase of the value of goods and  with the purpose of preventing anticompetitive actions, Karen  Karapetyan suggested to the chairman of the State Commission for the  Protection of Economic Competition of Armenia Artak Shaboyan to  strengthen control over the dominant companies in the market.  He  also proposed daily monitoring of price changes for rapid response  and the use of effective methods in case of problems.
