of course, this is a very interesting situation, this is essentially a challenge for us, because a lot of problems arise, in fact, we seem to be in a single trade space, but we cross borders, colleagues, of course, always try to take this topic into account in our decisions, but that’s all no matter how relevant it is, it is always especially relevant only for armenia, but the seamlessness, traceability,

led to such a situation that all the restaurants were closed, and milk was produced. receiving a large amount of milk, we realized that we needed to enter the market, which was done: in a very short time , consumers fell in love with the product, when restaurants were operating at full capacity again, it became clear that it was time for us to expand production, we began to look for investors and contacted the eurasian development bank. as a result, the project was supported and already in august twenty-two a trilateral agreement was signed between the government of armenia, the eurasian bank and the company. for the opening of an agricultural complex in the tashir community, an issue of no small importance for the food security of the republic, which is still forced import a considerable part of products from abroad. belarus. active work to achieve self-sufficiency is carried out in close cooperation with eac partners. this is a legendary, once famous throughout the soviet union, plant for the production of refrigerators. it all started in minsk. 1 and

minsk-2, these were the names of the first samples released in the sixties, but today these are already so-called smart refrigerators, which are in demand not only in belarus, but in russia and kazakhstan. the buyer also becomes more demanding, today smart home technologies are being widely introduced, which means that, accordingly, already, that is, the refrigerator is connected to the internet, we are already starting to produce refrigerators equipped with a wi-fi system that will be able to connect to a smart home. therefore, we are trying to move in the trend, which means this is the main task, this handsome tram, it is absolutely known, will go to krasnodar, this trolleybus will go to novorossiysk, there is already an order, this trolleybus will go to st. petersburg, but before you send it, of course, you need to make sure that everything is fine, i’ll go and have a look.

what’s inside this trolleybus, that tram, it’s all made here in belarus, or in the vastness of yaats, of course, let’s say, today the share of some kind of imported component from those countries where we bought it earlier, and some european ones then the components there and so on, it is practically reduced to zero, so today there is a trolleybus, today there is a tram car, and an electric bus is 97%. list

of domestic components, it’s called there would have been no happiness, but it was not happiness that helped, western sanctions were introduced against the enterprise, but this is precisely what contributed to the growth of domestic production and strengthening of cooperation with the eac. now belkomunmash annually adds 30-40% to its production volume. this year is already fully contracted. orders today are accepted in advance for 25-26 years. the main buyer of trams and electric buses is russia. previously tram.

“we are in astana, it was here exactly 10 years ago that the agreement on the creation of the eac was signed. at first there were three participating countries: belarus, kazakhstan and russia, then armenia and the kyrgyz republic joined. the treaty on the eurasian economic union has been signed. astana, may 29, 2014." 10 years ago, on may 29, 1914 , a meeting of the supreme eurasian economic council was held in astana, following which the presidents of russia, kazakhstan and belarus signed an agreement on the eurasian economic union. work on the document began in november 2011. then

the heads of the three states adopted a declaration on eurasian economic integration and it became a roadmap for the development of the union. at the same time , we agreed on free movement. goods, services, capital and labor, those same four freedoms, and pursue a coordinated policy in energy, industry, agriculture and transport. well, in general, over the past decades, since kazakhstan joined the ias, and we have had positive dynamics of economic indicators, first of all, despite all the externally negative factors, based on the results of last year.

the enterprise can be found not on a map, not on navigator, but by smell, because we are at a confectionery factory, here is its director timur sadykov, timur, hello, good afternoon, tell us what you produce here, how much chocolate, how many candies and how this enterprise appeared in general, this year our enterprise the kandiber factory is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary, we are known not only in kazakhstan, but beyond its borders, the share of exports is about 40%, and... we produce various kandiber products, ranging from the simplest caramel to the most complex candy products, in particular chocolate, waffles, marshmallows, marmalade, and candies, proline, fondant, this is the widest range, the creation of the eurasian economic union opened up for

kazakh producers, a whole huge market opened up, not only of kazakhstan, but of the entire eurasian economic union, there are no there are no customs barriers, there are no excise taxes, and it is easily cleared through customs and sold throughout the territory, a large open market has appeared, a large open market has appeared, it has become difficult to compete, but this encourages us to produce higher quality products that are more in demand, and which will be available to our customers. the confectionery factory made an important conclusion: a single economic space is both a challenge and new opportunities for manufacturers who gain access. we drive a few kilometers into kostan and the small town ends up at a tractor factory. this is part of a huge holding company, which occupies a leading position in the production of agricultural machinery in kazakhstan. here he is, the giant

a handsome, kirov-born, famous tractor, 47% of which is made here at the kostanay tractor plant. the inside is no worse than normal. in a passenger car, an easy chair, air conditioning, a radio, so that tractor drivers now have access to the fields with all the amenities, not to mention the fact that they don’t have to go to st. petersburg to buy agricultural machinery, everything is produced and sold here, which is reflected in the final price. the partnership began in 2018, then the kirovets came to kazakhstan as an imported car and was sold at about 150 units per year, but of course this a very cool product and the agromaazh holding company came to the conclusion that this product needs to be localized on the territory of the republic of kazakhstan. we arrived at the st. petersburg tractor plant and a joint venture was organized on the territory of kazakhstan. the flight from kostanay to astana is only one hour. if kostanay is cozy,

beautiful, but still small, then astana is the capital, the grooming and scope of which will be the envy of many cities in the world. we are talking with the head of the kazakhstan automobile union. she says that. a number of major projects the production of components for automobiles is now being launched, we will not name it so as not to jinx it, in the next 5-10 years we can expect concrete results, but we are worried about the problems of labor. today, the main task and, let’s say, the main challenge for kazakhstan in particular is the training of qualified personnel, and we believe that within the eac we will be able to increase technical and technological potential, namely cooperation projects, they play a major role in this . to make it easier create production chains; the ias is launching a mechanism for financing industrial cooperation projects. over 5 years, it will support cooperation projects totaling up to $1 billion. the results of ten years of

as for the financial market, there is a process of formation going on here; as for

the goods market, there is no customs control, a unified system has been created technical regulation, if we take the service sector, then in the single market format today services are provided in 140 sectors, based on this we say that today our businessmen are freed from the need to re-establish a legal entity, as well as obtain a permit.

almost 3 billion soms were allocated to the project, including funds from the kyrgyz-russian development fund. just as the streams of this icy mountain water rush downwards, capital and labor are flowing into the ias countries today. and the kyrgyz republic is one example. we are going to the mountains, a few kilometers from bishkek in the ala archa natural park, a meeting is scheduled with the chairman of the cabinet of ministers of the kyrgyz republic, okolbek japarov. the first thing i say is, what switzerland, what courchevel, you need to relax in the mountains of the kyrgyz republic. for the third year in a row, all our hotels are full and there are not enough hotel beds. you said about courchevel, we invited his chief manager, he and his wife came here to our mountains and fell in love. now we are launching a big ski

project. over the past 3 years, the gdp growth rate in on average about 7%. and in 2022 , the gdp growth rate was more than 9%. i believe that the correct macroeconomic policy, a selected professional team, and the creation of favorable conditions for our business, for our citizens, including primarily within the framework of the ias, helped us stabilize the economy after the post-video period and take advantage of all our advantages. union so that the economy of kyrgyzstan will finally work at the right rhythm and speed. the formation of a common market continues in the ias countries medicines, by the end of next year all medicines on the eas market must comply with common eurasian standards. by march of this year

, more than 15 thousand applications for registration of drugs according to the rules of the union had already been submitted. everyone got involved in the work.
