Sagintayev emphasized that active participation of businesses in integration processes is a key factor for enhancing the competitiveness of the economies of the member countries. He also noted that monitoring shows a positive impact of integration on the business environment.
“In 2025, based on most of the entrepreneurs' inquiries, we see positive outcomes: many issues have been resolved, and detailed explanations have been provided on others,” added Bakytzhan Sagintayev.
Earlier, Altynay Omurbekova, director of the labor migration and social protection department of the EEC, reported that mutual trade between EAEU countries grew by 9.1 percent last year, significantly higher than the level in 2023 (6.7 percent). The volume of trade in services increased by 16.1 percent.
“As practice shows, it is not enough to just create a regulatory framework and ensure funding. For the successful implementation of support mechanisms, it is necessary to develop a set of real business projects that meet market needs both today and in the future. In this aspect, we hope for active cooperation with the Business Council of the EAEU,” concluded Sagintayev.
