The results of the external and mutual trade of the EEU countries for January-July of this year, published by the EEC, show a positive overall picture of the unification development. The main threat to the Union today is the uneven development of its individual participants, who were unable to adapt in time to the conditions of work within a single economic space.
The external trade of ECE in the first half of this year grew twice as fast as domestic, and exports grew faster than imports. According to the ECE, for the first seven months, the total foreign trade of the Union states reached $419.6 billion, with an increase of 22.7% or $77.6 billion over the same period in 2017. Exports of the EEU countries grew by 28.8% to $270.5 billion, and imports - by 13% to $149.1 billion. As a consequence, the positive balance of foreign trade in goods increased from 78 billion in January-July 2017 to 121.4 billion dollar in January-July 2018. The trade surplus of the EEU with third countries increased by 1.5 times in seven months, which indicates the overcoming of the economic recession of 2014-2016 and an active increase in exports.
Foreign trade turnover in all five countries of the EEU rose relatively evenly. However, the dynamics of exports and imports varied significantly. If the average exports from the Union to third countries increased by 28.8%, then Belarus - by 31.7%, Russia - by 29.1%, Kazakhstan - by 27.2%, and Armenia - only 13.1%.
Kyrgyzstan, on the other hand, demonstrated a decline in exports outside the EEU by 7.6%. It is obvious that the most active exports are growing by those countries that supply oil and gas resources or products of their processing to foreign markets. Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, which are not among them, on the contrary, increased imports much faster, which, for seven months, grew by 39.3% and 36%, respectively. In Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus, imports have increased by 12-14%, which is more than two times less than the rate at which they increase their exports.
The absolute indices of the participation of the EEU states in the foreign trade of the association are still incomparable. More than two-thirds (84.1%) of the Union's foreign trade turnover falls to Russia, which remains its unconditional economic leader. The second place in trade with third countries is occupied by Kazakhstan at 9.8%, and the third by Belarus 4.8%. In aggregate, the integration big three, which makes up the economic base of the Union, provides 98.7% of its entire foreign trade. The share of Armenia (0.7%) and Kyrgyzstan (0.6%) in trade of the EEU with third countries is extremely small.
Moreover, the countries of the integration Big3 are only that have a positive balance of foreign trade, which is $101.4 billion in Russia, $19.9 billion in Russia, and $2.3 billion in Belarus. According to the results of seven months of this year Armenia has a deficit of foreign trade of $912 million, and Kyrgyzstan - $1.3 billion.
Positive impact on foreign trade of the leading countries of the EEU is exerted by price increases for the main items of their exports, primarily oil and gas resources and metals. In June of this year, the average price of Urals oil was $73.38, 1.6 times higher than June 2017, when it cost $45.65 per barrel.
The growth in world oil prices has led to the fact that the oil and gas revenues of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus, processing Russian oil at their refineries, grew at a faster pace. So, according to Rosstat, the export of fuel and energy goods from Russia in value terms increased by 29.3%, including crude oil by 31.4%, and natural gas by 28.2%. The rates of increase in exports of metals and products from them were even higher (by 35.1%). At the same time, exports of foodstuffs and agricultural raw materials increased at similar rates, increasing by 28.7% in the first half of the year, while shipments of machinery, equipment and vehicles (14.9%), as well as chemical products (14.1%) %) grew twice as slow.
Among the main regions of the world, the EEU countries rank third in the structure of Russia's foreign trade at 8.3%, behind the European Union at 43.8% and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region at 29.8%. Given that the Eurasian Union exists only a few years, and the level of development of the economy, its member countries are far from Europe, this result is not so bad.
At the country level, the role of the EEU is even more clearly visible. The key economic partners of Russia today are China (15.2%), Germany (8.9%) and the Netherlands (7%), while Belarus is not far behind (5%). It is indicative that the leading countries of the EEU began to play a much more important role for Russia than Ukraine, which was still in the lead not long ago. If Belarus traded for 16.5 billion dollar in six months, and Kazakhstan - for $9 billion, then Ukraine, which has a Russian economic sanctions, only $7 billion.
The intra-union trade of the EEU countries grew twice as slow as the external trade. For January-July, it increased by 13.8%, reaching $34 billion. The outpacing growth of foreign trade is certainly a negative factor, since it targets the allied states not the domestic but the foreign markets and economic centres of power that does not stimulate integration.
However, on the other hand, this situation reflects the existing structure of the economy of the main countries of the EEU, built on the export of oil and gas resources, metals, other raw materials and low-conversion products. Similar trends are seen in intra-union trade. Thus, the supplies of mineral products, which, according to the generally accepted classification, include oil and gas, increased by 20.3% in the EEU in January-July, metals and products by 18.5%, machinery, equipment and vehicles by 17% 9%, and chemical products - only 9%. Exceptions were textiles and footwear, the amount of trade in the EEU in seven months increased by almost one-fifth.
The rates of growth of mutual trade in individual countries were also uneven. The highest figures, more than double the all-union ones, are demonstrated by Armenia at 31.1%, followed by Russia at 17% and Kazakhstan at 16.2%. Significantly below the average for the EEU in January-July were the growth rates of mutual trade in Kyrgyzstan at 10.4% and Belarus at 4%. At the same time, the largest economy of the Union, Russia, was the fastest growing on trade with Belarus.
Another feature of intra-union trade is that only Russia has a surplus. According to the results of seven months of 2018, it amounted to 11 billion dollar, while the deficit of intra-union trade in Belarus reached $5 billion, Kazakhstan - $3.8 billion, Kyrgyzstan - $619 million, and Armenia - $451 million. A similar situation is also formed according to the aggregate foreign trade turnover of the EEU countries without its division into intra-union trade and trade with third countries. Only Russia and Kazakhstan have a surplus, while the remaining countries of the Eurasian Union cannot show a surplus at present.
In general, favourable pricing environment on world commodity markets, as well as the efforts of the leading EEU countries to increase exports, allow the Union to maintain a positive balance of trade with the outside world, which gives the entire Union the financial and economic stability. Without revenues from oil and gas exports, Russia would not be able to provide support to other members of the Union who would have to seek help from the IMF and other Western financial institutions. The latter are not interested in stimulating Eurasian integration, but rather in countering it. At the same time, the volumes of intra-union trade in the EEU are still inadequate and cannot be compared with the trade that the members of the Union conduct with third countries.
In addition, the reduction of the mutual trade with the EEU in Kyrgyzstan is alarming, which, apparently, was prepared the worst of all for the conditions of work within a single economic space.
If negative trends are not overcome, the republic can turn into a pain point of the EEU, which will be a convenient tool for its loosening by other economic power centres, which would not be beneficial for the CIS countries to join the common market of the EEU. And in the role of these centres, not only the US, which does not conceal its antipathy towards the EEU and the imperial role of Russia, but also other countries that have large economies, can play the role of these centres.
