Trade and economic cooperation of the EAEU: state, dynamics, ensuring national security

The relevance of the study lies in the fact that in the context of international political and economic tensions, the role of regional integration is more important than ever. Despite the fact that the EAEU is one of the youngest integration associations in the world, the history of its existence testifies to the importance for both participating countries and third countries and the global economy, as well as conducting joint policies in various spheres of international relations. The article provides an analysis of trade and economic cooperation between the EAEU countries from the point of view of studying the history and causes of its appearance, the current state and development prospects. The current state and features of trade and economic cooperation between the EAEU countries, the main macroeconomic and trade and economic indicators of the EAEU member states are considered. It is shown that since the creation of the EAEU in 2015, measures have been taken and successfully implemented aimed at identifying and gradually eliminating factors hindering the development of integration processes. With the help of the created strategies for the development of the grouping, supranational bodies strive to minimize the influence of internal and external factors on the growth of the economies of the member countries of the union. The EAEU has significant economic and trade, as well as investment potential. According to the authors, it is important for the EAEU countries and the association as a whole to more actively implement measures aimed at maintaining the economic security of the association and the participating countries, which requires new unified approaches to training at the country and regional levels.
