Investment projects of Russia within the framework of the EAEU: problems and prospects

Abstract

The authors of the study consider investment projects in Russia within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Such projects currently face challenges such as differences in economic policies and political tensions. However, Russia has already invested in a nuclear power plant in Belarus and oil and gas infrastructure in Kazakhstan, and has potential to invest in transport, logistics and agriculture. To increase investment activity, it is necessary to resolve differences in economic policies and improve the legal and business environment, as well as infrastructure and worker training. Investments within the EAEU are a necessary factor for the development of the region's economy and the strengthening of economic ties between the participating countries. Russia, as one of the leading economies in the region, is actively investing in various sectors of the economy within the EAEU. At the same time, despite some successes, there are problems that hinder investment activity in the region. One of the main problems is the difference in economic policies and legislation between the participating countries. This can significantly affect the attractiveness of investments in the region and create obstacles for business development. It is important that the member countries of the EAEU continue to work on resolving differences in economic policies and creating favorable conditions for investment and cooperation within the EAEU. Investments within the EAEU can become a powerful catalyst for the development of the region's economy and the strengthening of economic ties between the participating countries. An increase in investment activity and attraction of new investments can lead to the creation of new jobs, an increase in the standard of living of the population and an improvement in the economic situation in the region as a whole
