By the end of 2025, the EAEU plans to adopt all 77 common processes in the field of ICT. This was announced today at the Digital Almaty-2025 forum by Bakytzhan Sagintayev, Chairman of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission, as reported by a correspondent from the Kapital.kz business information center.
“Currently, the technological solution for the integrated information system aims to ensure seamless interactions between national digital platforms, both state and commercial. As a result, cross-border services can be provided in a trusted and secure environment with mutually acceptable and clear rules for all participants. At the moment, we can discuss full-scale interstate electronic G-to-G, B-to-G, and C-to-G interactions. This has been made possible by the launch of a secure data network and the phased implementation of common processes,” he noted.
According to him, all 77 common processes have been approved, with 42 already implemented. The Commission has prepared another 24 for implementation, and their launch depends on the readiness of the national segments of the member states.
“The remaining 11 processes will be prepared by the end of this year. Data exchange within the framework of common processes occurs in areas such as customs cooperation, technical regulation, trade, labor migration, and others. For example, the common process for maintaining a unified register of documents confirming product compliance with safety requirements has significantly reduced bureaucratic procedures for businesses,” Bakytzhan Sagintayev reported.
The list of these 77 processes is contained in the Decision of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission dated April 14, 2015, No. 29 “On the List of Common Processes within the Eurasian Economic Union and Amendments to the Decision of the Board of the Eurasian Economic Commission dated August 19, 2014, No. 132.”
“Currently, the unified registry contains information on more than 6.5 million documents. The number of transactions in 2024 exceeded 2.5 million. This confirms the demand for this service from businesses. Speaking of the benefits for individuals, the work experience of a citizen from one EAEU country is confirmed in another in electronic format. This significantly simplifies the process of pension accrual for workers. We see a high demand from our population for digitization and other processes and documents,” clarified the Chairman of the Eurasian Economic Commission.
He emphasized that improving the quality of life for people should be a priority direction for digitalization within the EAEU.
“The implementation of in-demand technological solutions is at the core of the Digital Union concept. It aims to ensure the principle of four freedoms through digitalization processes and is central to the efforts of the Eurasian Economic Commission for the digital transformation of the EAEU,” Bakytzhan Sagintayev reported.
To date, the integrated information system of the Eurasian Economic Union is already operational, serving as the technological foundation for the Digital Union.
“Its consistent development leads to the formation of a supranational infrastructure, or as we say, a ‘socket’. Essentially, this allows five different systems to exist within one ecosystem. At the same time, we continue to adhere to the principles of compatibility, synchronization, and integration that do not affect the digital sovereignty of member states,” he summarized.
It is worth noting that earlier at the forum, Kazakhstan's Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov spoke. In his speech, he mentioned that according to research by the leading IT analytics company IDC, by 2030, the contribution of artificial intelligence to the global economy will reach nearly $20 trillion.
The head of the Kazakh government proposed a collaboration among EAEU countries for the implementation of AI projects.
“We propose to combine the efforts of EAEU countries in implementing joint projects in the field of artificial intelligence based on the Alem-EI center. It is also important to ensure a comprehensive approach to training not only IT specialists but also in the effective use of artificial intelligence in everyday life,” Olzhas Bektenov clarified.
