BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 7. The development of
digital trade, expanding access for financial market participants,
and the creation of unified rules remain important areas for
deepening integration within the Eurasian Economic Union
(EAEU).
This was announced by the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers
of Kyrgyzstan, Adylbek Kasymaliev, during an expanded meeting of
the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council.
He noted that the agreement on electronic commerce in goods will
be an important step in creating transparent and predictable
conditions for businesses in the Union's domestic market.
"Modern digital commerce should become our domestic growth
driver. However, the lack of supranational rules threatens
cross-border barriers and disrupts the balance of interests between
the state, businesses, and citizens," Kasymaliev said.
According to him, all EAEU countries are interested in
protecting consumer rights, increasing market transparency, and
preventing the circulation of illegal products.
Kasymaliev also noted the importance of the agreement on
allowing brokers and dealers to participate in organized exchange
trading. According to his assessment, the implementation of this
document will expand financial market participants' access to the
Union's infrastructure, increase investment activity, and
facilitate the formation of a common financial space.
Furthermore, the head of the Kyrgyz government emphasized the
importance of the agreement on mutual recognition of academic
degrees, which will be a step toward developing the EAEU's
scientific and technological space.
"The signing of this document will be another practical step
toward developing the scientific and technological space of the
Eurasian Economic Union," he emphasized.
