Uzbekistan fines 22 gas stations in Karakalpakstan for price collusion
Uzbekistan's Competition Committee has fined 22 compressed natural gas filling stations in Nukus, in the Karakalpakstan region, for coordinated anti-competitive conduct. The case followed a citizen complaint.
For drivers, the point is direct: when filling stations agree instead of competing, fuel costs more. The fines are the regulator showing it will act on a complaint from an ordinary motorist.
