SAINT PETERSBURG, 21 December (BelTA) – At the expanded meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Saint Petersburg, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko identified a key topic for digitalization within the Eurasian Economic Union, BelTA has learned.
“Throughout the year, we have closely monitored the implementation of the roadmap for creating favorable conditions for e-commerce and developing modern commodity distribution channels. There have been challenges along the way. We have discussed them during the narrow-format meeting. We are addressing these challenges and, wherever possible, advancing on this path,” Aleksandr Lukashenko remarked.
The head of state identified the topic of digital signatures as fundamental for digitalization in the EAEU. This is especially relevant for public procurement. This market in the EAEU is projected to exceed its 2024 level of over $143 billion by the end of 2025.
“In general, the digital environment must make a tangible contribution to the competitiveness of our economies, not create additional barriers within the EAEU,” the president concluded.
