Since 2018, the decree on centralized procurement of Russian software for federal government agencies has been in effect. The government has identified a single customer: the Treasury purchases software for budget accounting, and the Ministry of Finance-antivirus software and office software.
The government has suspended these powers of the Ministry of Finance until the end of 2022.
The changes will take effect on February 7.
