THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA AS A MEMBER STATE OF THE EEC: CHALLENGES OF THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC (COVID-19)
Modern transformational transformations taking place in the world economy, affecting interstate and, in particular, national interests, are objects of deep scientific and economic and political analysis. The change in the conjuncture of the world economy is due to a number of factors and reasons (economic restrictions, sanctions, military-political conflicts, the Covid-19 epidemic, domestic civil conflicts). At a completely new stage of the formation of the world economy for any state, it becomes urgent to rethink and develop a new concept for the purpose of effective implementation of foreign economic activity and the organization of a coordinated trade policy. In the article, the author considers topical issues regarding the implementation of foreign economic activity of the participating countries that are members of the single economic zone of free trade of the EAEU. The main constraints on the development of foreign trade processes at the interstate and interregional level in 2020-2021 (the period of the world coronavirus - COVID - 19) are presented. A comparative and categorical analysis of the indicators of mutual trade policy between the EAEU states is carried out. In connection with the active expansion and entry of new participants into the Eurasian Economic Union, new strategic directions are proposed to increase the efficiency of foreign trade operations between the member states of the Union. Management actions are aimed at developing new priority goals and objectives, improving early implemented approaches to address topical issues arising in international trade and the division of labor.
