The article discusses prospects of further increase in the EEU integration with reference to the target benchmarks that national economies set when making decisions on joining regional integration blocs like the Eurasian Economic Union. The focus is on the possibility of developing high technology production in EEU countries. A two-sector model and analysis of statistical information are used to assess the prospects for the development of innovative production on the territory of the EEU. It is shown that with the developed monopolized structure and low level of production competitiveness, financing innovation by transforming savings into investments is really difficult. The authors suggest a critical assessment of the current inflation targeting policy of the Central Bank of Russia. Based on the macroeconomic model of the interaction of savings and investments and the generalization of data subject to the level of monopolization of the Russian economy, it is argued that the implementation of the inflation targeting policy does not create real prerequisites for the development of high-tech production in Russia and other EEU member countries. It is stated that the current conditions require a policy of mobilizing resources to be invested in innovative projects. It is concluded that in modern conditions, a significant increase in the financing of innovative products is possible only through state support based on the modernization of the taxation system. It is indicated that in the long term, targeted financing of innovative products should be carried out within the framework of the single economic policy of the EEU. The authors suppose that just creation of prerequisites for innovative development in the EEU can increase real attractiveness of this integration block for potential new members.
