Kyrgyzstan’s GDP growth in 2016 hardly to amount to 0.1 percent without EEU

If Kyrgyzstan hadn’t joined the Eurasian Economic Union, the GDP growth of the country by the end of 2016 would have hardly amounted to more than 0.1 percent, Vice Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan Oleg Pankratov said today at the forum «Integration processes within EEU.»

According to him, integration blocks will play the main role on the world stage in the near future. At the same time, the role of WTO will reduce. And countries outside of any integration association will play a role of outsiders.

»Kyrgyzstan — a small economy that doesn’t have access to large reserves of hydrocarbons. Therefore, we can’t exist separately. Other alternatives of integration organizations other than the EEU are difficult for Kyrgyzstan's accession," Vice Prime Minister said.

According to officials, the Eurasian integration issue is highly politicized. It was one of the government’s mistakes. The population had the opinion that the EEU is a panacea for everything and the solution to all problems.

«People had high expectations. But the main task of the government — to keep those market outlets and niche, which the country occupied before the establishment of the EEU. After all, since the union started working, there was a threat that Kyrgyzstan will lose markets not only because of the barriers, but also because of introduction of technical regulations," Oleg Pankratov concluded.
