Trade turnover within the Eurasian Economic Union exceeded $95 billion [2] in 2025, according to reports from a summit in Astana, Kazakhstan.
The growth in trade volume signals deepening economic integration among member states as the bloc seeks to reduce reliance on external markets. This expansion comes as the union enters its 12th year of operation, focusing on the creation of shared digital infrastructures.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said the $95 billion [2] figure during the proceedings. Other reports of the trade volume for the same period placed the turnover at more than €80 billion [1].
The summit in Astana served as a venue for leaders to coordinate new economic strategies. Key agenda items included the integration of artificial intelligence, and the development of shared digital markets to streamline commerce across borders.
Officials also discussed the establishment of new trade corridors to improve the movement of goods. These corridors are intended to optimize logistics and reduce the costs associated with cross-border transit within the union.
The focus on AI and digital markets reflects a shift toward modernizing the bloc's economic framework. By synchronizing digital standards, the EAEU aims to create a more seamless environment for businesses operating across multiple member territories.

The discrepancy in reported trade figures between different sources suggests a lack of standardized reporting or currency conversion volatility. However, the overarching focus on AI and digital markets indicates that the EAEU is attempting to pivot from a traditional commodity-based trade bloc toward a high-tech economic union to ensure long-term sustainability.
