YEREVAN, JANUARY 13, ARMENPRESS. The current year will be complicated for the Eurasian Economic Union; therefore it is necessary to do relevant analysis so that the Union can record economic growth. The assessment belongs to deputy director of Public Policy Institute belonging to “Nur-Otan” party, Vladimir Telnov. “Armenpress” reports that in a space bridge organized at “Sputnik Armenia” media hall Telnov said that there are good and objective preconditions to make EAEU a serious international player and have influence on economic changes.
“It is necessary to make efforts to further develop the Union. In this regard, it is very important to ensure not only infrastructures, but also technical equipment”, Telnov said, adding that it is very important for the Union to closer cooperate with China.
“In this regard, the Chinese “Silk Road” project can be very favorable, which can have a serious impact also on EAEU states”, Telnov said, adding that Kazakhstan has a huge experience in cooperation with China. Several dozens of documents and agreements are signed; some dozens of Chinese businessmen make investments in Kazakhstan. “Kazakhstan is ready to share its experience with member states. As refers to a single currency, I do not think that it is reasonable at this point. The Union can have different currencies, but it is not important. The important thing is cooperation”, he said.
Head of the CenterofStrategic Development of the CIS Countriesunder theEurope Instituteof theRAS,Alexander Gusev said that considering the developments in currency market and the problems that exist in the European Union over single currency, creation of a single currency is not reasonable.
