At the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council on May 29 in Astana, the heads of state of the Eurasian Economic Union reviewed the results of the implementation of the Strategic Directions for the Development of Eurasian Economic Integration until 2025.

The final report noted that over the five years since the document's implementation, the Eurasian Economic Commission, together with the EAEU countries, has carried out extensive normative and practical work.

“Eighteen international treaties and agreements were prepared, and approximately 500 acts of the Union’s bodies were approved,” noted Daniyar Imanaliev, the EEC Minister in charge of Integration and Macroeconomics.

The implementation of the Strategy created conditions for the accelerated development of the economies of Member States, growth in investment and innovation activity, improved competitiveness, and increased the weight of the EAEU states in the global trade and economic system.

“Over the past five years, the GDP of Member States has grown by 16.6%, industrial production has increased by 18.9%, and agricultural production by 12.4%. The share of mutual trade settlements
in national currencies reached a historical record of 93.3%. The boundaries of cooperation with third countries and international organizations have expanded,” Daniyar Imanaliev emphasized.

The implementation of the Strategy ensured the successful functioning of the Union, the development of mutually beneficial cooperation in key sectors, and the improvement of the institutional system of the EAEU. The foundation has been laid for the further development of integration processes in a number of areas, including economic cooperation in new domains (sports, tourism, education, healthcare, green technologies, environmental protection, energy conservation and energy efficiency, scientific and technological development).

The Union states have made significant progress in creating a single seamless economic space. To this end, in particular, the legal basis for a unified customs transit system was defined, and a mechanism for tracking shipments using navigation seals was launched. Lists of Eurasian transport corridors and routes, as well as large-scale infrastructure projects in the transport sector, were approved. A legal environment was created to regulate foreign and mutual electronic commerce. A number of key acts were adopted to form common financial and energy markets.

Many of the Strategy's results are already tangible for citizens and the business community. This includes, for example, the launch of a mechanism for financing industrial cooperation, the optimization of rules for developing product safety requirements, the mutual recognition of documents on academic degrees within the Union, and the regulation of pension rights for workers acquired while working in the territories of other Member States.

Since this year, work on developing the Eurasian economic space has continued within the Action Plan for the implementation of the Eurasian Economic Path Declaration. The Plan was approved by the EEC Council in December 2025.
