“The Ministry of Finance of Russia has developed methodological recommendations for assessing the level of operating expenses of companies with state participation and has prepared monitoring of their implementation,” the ministry’s website says.

It is noted that the monitoring is aimed at identifying unreasonable expenses of the largest state-owned companies that carry out their activities, including with the involvement of federal budget funds.

Such expenses include, among other things, the rental of additional premises and a luxury car park.

Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that the new antimonopoly regulation of digital markets will work from March 2023.
