Problems and Prospects of the Single Financial Market and the Common Currency of the EAEU

Abstract

The EAEU Treaty assumes that by 2025 the community countries will complete the construction of a single financial market and will be able to move to supranational regulation. This will increase the overall competitiveness and attractiveness of small markets, optimize processes and cooperation. The article examines the existing obstacles and incentives for the formation of a single financial market, substantiates the thesis about the limits of minimizing transaction costs and the possibility of negative effects of the de-dollarization policy in the EAEU space for mutual trade in the existing economic conditions. From the position of the theory of optimal currency areas, the importance of the transition to a single currency for the development of the economies of the EAEU member states is justified.
