The main challenges faced by the competition authorities of the Eurasian Economic Union countries in the context of global changes were discussed on June 26 in Minsk at the EEF 2025 panel session "Modern Competition Policy: Challenges and Prospects" involving Maxim Yermalovich, Minister in charge of Competition and Antitrust Regulation of the Eurasian Economic Commission.

The event discussed the measures and mechanisms necessary to ensure competition, the role of government and business in establishing a fair competitive environment.

Special attention was paid to foreign experience. Representatives of competition authorities from Iran, China and Uzbekistan shared their experience, including on rapid response to technology and market changes.

A perspective on the topic was provided by the UNCTAD's Competition and Consumer Protection Officer and Director of the BRICS International Center for Competition Law and Policy. Other speakers were representatives of the national authorities of the EAEU countries.

"I believe that all the tasks we set in the session have been accomplished. This event will help the Commission and the EAEU countries align further directions of joint work in the field of competition in the Union markets," summed up Maxim Yermalovich.
