BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 7. Armenia transferred about $319 million to the general budget of customs duties of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), while the volume of funds distributed to the country amounted to nearly $175 million in 2025.
This was announced by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at an expanded meeting of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council.
According to Pashinyan, these figures show Armenia's fulfillment of its obligations within the EAEU and demonstrate that the country's participation in the union is based not on unilateral benefits, but on mutual commitments.
"Armenia contributed significantly more funds to the Union's common budget than it received, which is direct evidence of our responsible position and conscientious fulfillment of our obligations within the EAEU," the prime minister noted.
He also mentioned figures for Armenia's mutual trade with EAEU member states.
By the end of 2025, Armenia's imports from the Union countries amounted to approximately $5 billion, while Armenian exports to the markets of EAEU member states reached approximately $3.2 billion.
Pashinyan emphasized that these data demonstrate the importance of the EAEU common market for the Armenian economy.
"These figures demonstrate that Armenia is not only a participant of the EAEU common market, but also a significant consumer of goods and services produced in the Union member states," he stated.
At the same time, the prime minister noted that the development of integration within the EAEU should be based on equal conditions for all participants.
Earlier during the meeting, Pashinyan stated the need to remove barriers that impede the full functioning of the Union’s common market, including restrictions and administrative measures that may reduce the predictability of business conditions.
He emphasized that Armenia provides equal and non-discriminatory conditions for the activities of companies of all EAEU member states and considers it necessary to apply a similar approach throughout the territory of the Union.
According to Pashinyan, the further development of the EAEU requires not only the discussion of new initiatives, but also the practical implementation of decisions already taken, increasing the efficiency of the Union’s institutions and strengthening trust between member states.
