Kazakh Economy Ministry: introduction of single currency in EEU is not discussed

The introduction of a single currency within the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) is not in the regulatory framework of this association, Kazakhstan`s Deputy Economy Minister Timur Zhaksylykov told a press conference.

"Kazakhstan has a clear-cut position in this issue, it excludes the possibility of introducing a single supranational currency within the EEU. We are not discussing such questions," TASS cited him.

"By 2025, only harmonization of legislation on financial markets is envisioned. As you can see, the creation of a single currency has not been on the agenda of the meetings," the Deputy Economy Minister concluded.
