EAEU mutual trade may surpass $100 billion in 2026 - TokayevThe Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) is maintaining positive macroeconomic momentum and steady growth in mutual trade, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said."The EAEU maintains positive macroeconomic development dynamics. According to forecasts, the combined GDP growth rate of the union's member states in 2026-2027 will be about 2.5%," Tokayev said Friday at a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Astana."Despite instability in global markets, trade turnover between our countries exceeded $95 billion last year. This year, we expect mutual trade volumes to increase by more than 6% and surpass the $100 billion mark," he said.At the same time, Tokayev said assessments by international organizations regarding the global economy remain discouraging."According to an IMF report, this year's global economic growth forecast has been revised downward to 3%. Global structural changes will inevitably affect the union's economic dynamics. Under these circumstances, adapting to new realities, strengthening internal resilience and increasing competitiveness become particularly relevant," Tokayev said. (ICE ALMATY)
