BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 21. The member
states of the Eurasian Economic Union are demonstrating steady
economic momentum, and future integration will be built upon the
"Eurasian Economic Path" declaration through 2045, said Russian
President Vladimir Putin during a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian
Economic Council, Trend reports.
According to the President, the total volume of agricultural
production within the Union has grown by over 20%, retail trade by
3%, and construction by 4.7%. The share of non-energy exports from
Russia to EAEU countries has increased by nearly 20%, reaching $32
billion, while total trade turnover over the first 10 months of the
year hit $73 billion.
Putin emphasized that a resilient payment infrastructure has
been established within the EAEU, with almost all mutual
settlements conducted in national currencies, which now account for
93% of commercial operations between the states.
"The five-year strategy for Eurasian economic integration has
been realized: trade barriers have been removed, non-tariff
regulations have been harmonized, coordination in customs and tax
spheres has improved, and a mechanism to support cooperative
projects has been launched," the President noted.
He added that the roadmap for the Union's integration
development will be approved today, serving as the strategic
framework for further efforts until 2045.
