Putin to Convene Government on Chestny Znak Digital Marking System

Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a videoconference meeting with the government on Wednesday to discuss the 'Chestny Znak' digital marking system, aimed at cleaning up the economy. The system, which tracks goods from production to sale, is part of ongoing efforts to reduce counterfeit and shadow-market activity. The meeting signals continued state focus on economic regulation, though no specific policy changes are announced.
