Reshetnikov spoke about the advantages of the platform economy

On April 17, Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, spoke about the advantages of the platform economy during the Conference of Innovative E-Commerce Technologies (KIT), which is being held at the World Trade Center in Moscow.

"The platform economy reveals these flaws in our regulation, <...> as this metabolism accelerates dramatically, any problem, even a small one, quickly becomes noticeable on a macro scale," the minister noted.

According to Reshetnikov, platforms greatly accelerate all economic processes and quickly acquire market power, so there is a demand from traditional trade for their regulation.

Speaking about the draft law on creating the legal foundations of the platform economy, he stressed that the regulation of platforms should not hinder their growth, so the rules should be set "very wisely."
