According to the resolution of October 17, 2018, # 841, the CMU tries to fill the gaps that appeared after the introduction of a new procedure in April this year (Reform Index # 84).
Also, changes have been made to the procedure for granting guarantees by local authorities (+1.0 points). According to the law “On State Aid to Business Entities”, the guarantees of local authorities are one of the forms of state aid. Therefore, the decree of October 24, 2018, # 877 establishes the obligation to approve the provision of such aid with the Antimonopoly Committee. At the same time, procedures for approval of guarantees by the Ministry of Finance have been simplified.
