In October 2015 the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia (FAS) closed its abuse of dominance investigation against Uralkali, the only supplier of carnallite in Russia. The case started following a customer complaint that carnallite prices were excessive. After an in-depth review, the authority concluded that Uralkali’s prices did not generate supra-competitive profits and thus were not abusive.RBB economists advised Uralkali throughout the process, prepared several submissions and attended multiple meetings with the FAS officials. The non-confidential version of the decision (in Russian) contains extensive references to the economic methodology and results of the RBB analysis. For more information see here
