The EAEU role in the global economy

🇦🇲🤝🇧🇾🤝🇰🇿🤝🇰🇬🤝🇷🇺

Since the establishment of the Eurasian Economic Union in 2015, the share of total GDP (PPP) of the Union’s countries has remained in the range of 5,5-5,7% of the global GDP. At the end of 2021, its share of the world GDP stood at 2.1%, in absolute terms just over USD 2 trillion.

Between 2014 and 2021, mutual trade among EAEU member states increased in value terms by 28.5% to $73.1 billion. The growth was driven by rising global commodity prices and a change in trade structure in favour of more value-added goods.

☝️ The EAEU economies have shown their resilience to global crises. The COVID-19 pandemic is a striking example, with the decline in GDP growth rate in 2020-2021 being less significant than for the rest of the world.

Given the growing sanctions pressure on Russia and Belarus, it is worth noting that so far the actual growth rates of the EAEU economies are higher than predicted.
