Araz Aliyev is an Azerbaijani public official and economic policy expert who worked at the State Service for Antimonopoly Policy and Consumer Market Control from 1993 till 2021. During his time working there he helped to establish consumer rights protection, fair competition policy and public awareness programs in Azerbaijan's governance system.
Aliyev has been involved in creating various state legislations, attended many academic seminars and public awareness activities in order to put consumer protection mechanisms in place and make the market transparent both for government and citizens during the first years of the independence of the country and continued his work later on to strengthen these regulations. He played a key role in the development of state policy on consumer market regulation and competition, participated and spoke at many local events and international conferences, forums and official meetings in foreign countries on antimonopoly regulation, competition policy, consumer rights protection and market supervision. These events brought competition authorities and regulatory institutions from various countries together to share international experience and discuss modern approaches and practices about competition and consumer protection. He was also involved with holding multiple educational forums in cooperation with universities and regional institutions to stress that consumer rights, fair market conditions and knowledge of citizens and entrepreneurs are very important in order to carry out the reforms and regulations in Azerbaijan swiftly and efficiently.
Aliyev's work has been associated with the institutionalization of Azerbaijan's antimonopoly and consumer market supervision frameworks and is now one of the central regulatory aspects of the State Agency for Antimonopoly and Consumer Market Control under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan. State Service for Antimonopoly and Consumer Market Control lately was reorganized into the State Agency for Antimonopoly and Consumer Market Control under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan and has been transformed directly to be responsible for preventing unfair competition, regulating monopolistic practices and promoting consumer market standards in line with national economic reforms till this day.
