Antimonopoly Service Employees Day is observed in Tajikistan every January 11. This official professional holiday, added to the calendar in 2024, honors the employees of the Antimonopoly Service under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan. The day recognizes the important role competition regulators play in maintaining fair market competition and preventing monopolistic practices. The Antimonopoly Service formulates and implements state policy to protect competition, monitors dominant companies, and regulates prices of essential goods and services. It also reviews transactions that could affect the competitive environment and addresses violations of antitrust legislation. Although it is a professional holiday, it is not a non-working day unless it falls on a Saturday or Sunday.
