Eurasian Development Bank’s 8th International Conference on Eurasian Integration is taking place in Moscow
Moscow, 12 November 2013. Today Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) opened its 8th International Research-to-Practice Conference titled Deepening and Expanding Eurasian Integration in the President Hotel in Moscow.
“Our annual conferences have become a good tradition. They bring together the research community, heads of governmental authorities of the CIS countries and representatives of integration associations,” says Vladimir Yasinsky, Member of the Management Board and Managing Director for Research at EDB. “If to bear in mind the results of the past conferences and the agenda of the current one we can state that the Bank has managed to create an optimal floor for a broad and objective discussion of Eurasian integration. Experts from CIS countries who have different experience and varying opinions present here their positions and discuss in an open forum the paths of Eurasian integration, thereby making their contribution to the search for optimal solutions.”
The organisers expect that the 8th Conference will discuss the most important issues of Eurasian integration in order to produce scientifically grounded and practical recommendations as to how further improve integration mechanisms in view of the planned creation of the Eurasian Economic Union.
The participants will pay special attention to the issues of coordinated macroeconomic policies, cooperation between the Single Economic Space (SES) countries and Ukraine in different sectors in the future and the expansion of the Customs Union and the SES. The plenary meetings and sessions will have on their agendas the issues of mutual investments in the CIS region, the approaches to macroeconomic forecasting in the process of Eurasian integration, the development of the infrastructure necessary for Eurasian integration, the integration of commodity markets, the creation of a single labour market, public attitudes to integration, and the expansion of cross-border cooperation.
The conference will last for two days. The most interesting and topical reports will be published in the Bank’s Journal of Eurasian Economic Integration and The Eurasian Integration Yearbook as well as on the Bank’s website (https://eabr.org/).
