GRATA International presents a comparative overview of antitrust regulation in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, Türkiye, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

The publication analyzes how unfair competition is defined and prohibited in national legislation, how collusion in public tenders (bid rigging) is classified, and how cartel agreements and other anti-competitive practices are investigated by authorities.

The material also outlines measures available to companies for reducing antitrust risks, the specific rules applicable to undertakings with a dominant position, and the powers of regulators during inspections. A comparative perspective allows businesses to better understand compliance requirements and enforcement practices across the region.
