First Deputy Prime Minister Nikolai Snopkov introduced the new head, Aleksandr Yakovchits, to the staff of the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade (MART). Snopkov emphasized that MART's area of responsibility is both important and complex, requiring a meticulous approach. Consumers must have a good selection of goods at affordable prices. Aleksandr Yakovchits has previously worked at both Belgospishcheprom and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, where he collaborated closely with the trade sector; consequently, the new Minister is well-versed in the tasks ahead.
