The UAE has seen exceptional growth of up to 75% in trade with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) for the first half of the year, driven by expanded economic relations. The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the UAE and EAEU aims to remove customs restrictions and expand traded goods, benefiting from reduced tariffs on over 85% of total trade volume. Andrey Slepnev, Minister in charge of Trade at the Eurasian Economic Commission, highlighted the strategic importance of Eurasia as a priority trade expansion zone with a population of over 200 million people. The agreement has led to a significant increase in bilateral trade between the UAE and EAEU countries, with exports quadrupling for Union countries and increasing by more than 50% for Emirati products.
