EAEU Development Prospects up to 2025

This working paper has been prepared by the Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC) as part of the project entitles “Eurasian Economic Integration: Effective Models of Experts’ Interaction.” The aim of this publication is to present the views of experts on the development of the EAEU up until 2025. The paper considers promising areas of integration: transport and logistics; agro-industrial policy; the free movement of goods, labour and education in the EAEU space; and the prospects for the EAEU’s international ties up to 2025. This, of course, is not an exhaustive list of possible areas for integration. It is, however, feasible given the national priorities and expectations of the EAEU member states, an analysis of which has been included as a separate section of this working paper. An understanding of these priorities and expectations is essential to the elaboration of promising areas of integration.
