Monetary Policy of the EAEU Countries: Instruments and Results of Implementation

The global processes taking place in the economy have led to the transformation of various spheres of the economy, primarily financial, and, as a result, to changes in economic policy and its main elements-fiscal, monetary and investment policies. It is no coincidence that the recurrent crises of the last decades either originated in the financial sector or had a significant impact on changing its parameters. This situation in the context of ongoing economic and institutional changes has necessitated a flexible and regular review of the methods and instruments of monetary regulation used. Moreover, it is more difficult for the countries of integration groupings, including the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), to do this, given the need to coordinate the decisions and measures taken. The situation has become more complicated due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has had a significant impact on the economies of both developed and developing countries. The analysis of the correspondence of the money market parameters to the macro-financial indicators of economic security and the dynamics of the banking sector parameters, the significant economic downturn, the decrease in demand and the persistence of uncertainty about the duration of the pandemic make it necessary to adjust monetary policy.
